Investigating electrical conductors and insulators
We have been investigating electrical conductors and insulators
River Systems
A morning spent outside with water and pipes. We made tributaries, meanders, waterfalls and delta.
Stacks, stumps and arches
We have been using clay to explore erosion on headlands and have been making stacks, stumps and arches. We are now sat quietly writing an explanation text and flow chart about the process.
Thermal insulators
We have been investigating thermal insulators today and testing how well materials can keep food cool in a packed lunch box. Father Christmas also made a surprise appearance
Map work
We spent some time doing map work today and finding rivers in Cumbria.
Athletics practice
We had so much fun this afternoon taking part in the virtual athletics competition. This week we practiced, next week we start keeping scores!
Separating materials
A very exciting afternoon using filtration, sieving, evaporation and magnetic attraction to separate solids and liquids
Children in Need
We are managing to stay awake despite being in our pyjamas. We went outside to do some pyjama aerobics to wake ourselves up.
Thank you for all the donations
Science dictionary
We have turned the classroom into a science dictionary for our new science topic about materials.
Forest Friday
Lots and lots of fun doing forest schools today. Willow crowns, dream catchers and scarecrows. Lovely way to end a lovely half term.
Building Stonehenge
We have had a very busy day learning about Stonehenge and how it was built. We built our own versions of it. We wondered if they would last as long as the real Stonehenge!
