It’s been an exciting week of Science in school this week. Science Club set up an investigation to see how food changes over time. Everyone was able to visit the display over the week to see what happened. We found that some foods went hard while others went soft. Some went mouldy although the whole … Read more
As part of our unit on Animals, we were observing worms today in Maple Class. We learnt that worms have hydrostatic skeletons, which means that fluid gives them structure. Worms move by squeezing their muscles so that they become long and thin. Then, they have tiny hairs which help to pull them through the soil.
The Year 3 Science Club has been busy with a range of activities and investigations. We investigated chromatography in sweets by separating out the colours in the coating of different types of sweets. We explored forces and aerodynamics by testing different types of paper plane and paper helicopters to see how they flew and which … Read more
Years 3 and 5 have been learning all about forces in Science this term and today had the opportunity to see forces in action in a Circus Skills show. Nick from Shooting Stars demonstrated his amazing juggling skills and explained how different types of force are needed on different pieces of juggling equipment: pushes, pulls, … Read more
This year, we have been very lucky to welcome Mr Derrett, a Science teacher from Hitchin Girls’ School, for exciting Science workshops throughout the year.

After a short walk to the site, we gazed … Read more
Year 5’s new science unit this term is all about materials. The class have decided that they are already enjoying this unit as it involves lots of experiments! We have looked at what properties we know materials have and have planned and taken part in some initial experiments to test these theories. We are gearing … Read more
