Science learning

Cross Fell have enjoyed exploring a range of materials today. We looked at each item carefully then worked as a group to sort them into different categories. It was lovely to hear everyone using a range of vocabulary to describe each item and reason about what some items could be in more that one…

Middle Fell have been making models of our teeth and writing narration scripts about the digestive system in Science, they also had Professor Kevin Walsh visit to talk about Astronomy and future jobs in STEM. Inspiring the next generation!

Flinty Fell  had a visit from Professor K Walsh today who is an Astronomer-in-Residence at Westminster School in London.
He came to talk to us about the Universe and the planets, he answered all the questions the pupils had for him and really helped to deepen everyone's understanding. Thankyou…

Middle Fell really enjoyed bringing their science learning to life by taking part in a digestion experiment today, great work Middle Fell!

Cross Fell are really enjoying watching to see how our plants are changing over time and are working hard to make sure that they are allowing the plants to thrive by caring for them in the right way.

What an amazing show the children from the Federation enjoyed this morning with Professor Pumpernickel. It had the children enthralled from start to finish and really boosted and inspired their learning in Science.  We are so lucky to have such fantastic experiences for the children to enjoy, huge…

Some super work in science looking at a range of different seeds today, we talked about what was the same and what was different and then worked on observing closely to identify the different seeds using the seed packets to help us. We ended our session by following the instructions to carefully…

Today in science we have been thinking about materials. We investigated whether we could change the shape of a range of materials by pushing, pulling, stretching and bending. Careful testing everyone- well done!

Today we have been testing a selection of materials using a pipette to simulate raindrops and consider why some materials let water through and others do not, we linked our learning to our superhero topic to see if we could find the best materials to fix our superhero's suit. It was fantastic to…

Middle Fell today had a day filled with poetry writing/editing in Literacy, exploring the UK in Geography and even participated in the BBC’s Live Winterwatch from the comfort of their own classroom!

They learned lots about how habitats, food chains and biomes all interact with one another as…

Middle Fell have really enjoyed making their own instruments using what they have found out about pitch and volume.
