Identifying seeds
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…
Changing shape
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!
Waterproof materials testing
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's Winter Watch
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's sound experiments
Middle Fell have really enjoyed making their own instruments using what they have found out about pitch and volume.
Seasonal changes- staying safe
We loved learning about seasonal changes and how to stay safe on those long Winter nights.
Wonderful weather
Wonderful learning about seasonal weather today, we have loved making our own windmills and identifying different kinds of weather.
Middle Fell soil detectives
Today Middle Fell have become Soil Detectives! Quite a messy affair, but everyone got stuck in!
Cross Fell- sorting and classifying
Cross Fell have enjoyed using a range of simple equipment to observe a range of leaves closely. We sorted our leaves and used our books and tablets to help us to identify what they were. Great job everyone!
Rock detectives
As promised to our aspiring Petrologists and Geologists in Middle Fell here is a link to an interactive map that lets you search wherever you want and look at the bedrock of that area:

We had fun…
Habitat explorers
We really enjoyed getting outdoors this afternoon looking at different creatures in their micro habitats. Everyone was very careful with the creatures we found and had some super observations about them using our magnifying glasses to help us. Top scientists!
Curiosity Cube
Thankyou to everyone who continues to be so involved with our science project- we now have a curiosity cube so the children can get up close and examine a range of things to make them wonder.
Thankyou to Evie for the egg shells :-)
