Science learning

We have really enjoyed working on the tablets this afternoon as part of our science work to create animal factfile- we are so pleased with the quality of work and the discussions the children had. Our first group completed the tasks today and group two will take a turn tomorrow :-)

Just another thankyou to everyone who has been so enthused with our Science topic and been bringing in leaves that have been nibbled (food chains in action) and nests and egg shells they have found inspired by our Science topic of animals and their habitats and also Carly's discovery of an egg…

In science we are learning about plants, last week we looked closely at the different parts of plants and today we did some planting in our outdoor area.

We talked to the children about what they would like to grow and have today planted potatoes, peas, pansies and nasturtiums.

Cross Fell were really fortunate to beable to bring their learning about habitats to life by enjoying a visit to Susan's Farm. It is fantastic to beable to get really hands on with our learning and take our learning outside of the classroom.

We had a wonderful day yesterday at Susan’s Farm

Flinty Fell had a great visit to Durham to tour the Botanic Gardens there- a great trip to bring their science and topic learning to life.

Exciting news. Over the holidays Park Fell's butterflies emerged from their cocoons. They are beautiful. We will release them tomorrow.

Calling all designers and investigators!

Our first chick has hatched! We talked about how it hatched and watched a video on you tube before writing a sentence about it. We than made a chicken house outside

Park Fell have been carefully looking after some eggs as part of their new life topic - today it was extremely exciting as one of them has starting to crack! We will keep you posted once our first chick arrives. 

Today Park Fell continued to think about frogs and how they produce new life. We looked at the lifecycle and made our own ‘fake’ pond with frogspawn, tadpoles, froglets and frogs to explore the cycle through play. We painted frogs after looking at patterns on some and then had a visit to…
