Wonderful weather!

 in Art / Class One / Geography / Science by

Despite the quick changing weather we have had over the past few weeks, Class One have enjoyed exploring all the variations! They have learnt about how wind can be useful and how we can tell if it is a windy day, despite not being able to see the actual wind itself, only its effects. Clouds were next on the list for exploring and the children enjoyed an afternoon cloud spotting outside and noticing the different colours and shapes of them and learning that the more grey and dark a cloud is, the more likely it is to rain! Finally, the children learnt how rainbows were created and enjoyed some rainbow art with Bob, exploring how colours can be mixed to create new ones and made their own, whole class rainbow!

Science Investigations!

 in Class Two / Science by

To start the year, Class 2 have been learning all about different materials in science. We have been exploring what objects are made from and thinking carefully about their properties.

Over the past two weeks, we have begun investigating the different properties of materials. Last week, we carried out an exciting experiment to find out which objects would sink and which would float!

Before testing each object, we made predictions and discussed our ideas. We talked about whether the material it was made from might affect what happened in the water. The children were fantastic at explaining their thinking and using scientific vocabulary.
