Tall trees, wide trunks

Year 1 investigated the question, ‘Do taller trees have wider trunks?’ As part of their Science and Maths learning, the children measured tree trunks using string and compared their widths using cubes as a non-standard unit of measurement. They recorded their results in a table and looked for patterns in the data. The children found […]

Measuring up to success! (Y2)

Year 2 have been learning about units of measurement over the past week. We have explored length using metres and centimetres, capacity using litres and millilitres and mass using grams and kilograms. It has been lots of fun seeing these units in many different practical contexts!

Once they were ready, we carefully released the […]

Blood, Bodies and Brilliant Science! (Y6)

Year 6 children have been learning about health and circulation in their Science lessons. The children learned about the different components of blood and their functions. In one lesson, the children created a model of blood using a range of everyday items. We used oil to represent plasma, the liquid part of blood that transports […]
