Having so much fun in our local community together as our Year 2 class family! Not only did we sketch and paint, we also discussed the climate, animals and plants as we retrieved our science from this year! #pdascience

Observing and recording the results of our cress plant investigation. Well done Year 2, lots of clear explanations as to what happened to how our seeds grew in the different conditions. 👀👍⭐️#pdascience

Which switch is which? 🤷‍♀️ This week we’ve made a toggle switch, a turn switch and a push to make switch and they actually worked! #pdadt #pdascience

Recording our observations of changes over time, in our cress investigation of ‘What does a plant need to grow strong and healthy?’ We compared the different conditions our seeds were given. #pdascience 👀👀🍀🍀

Developing our working scientifically skills as we observe our plant investigation on day 3. #pdascience 👀⭐️👀⭐️👀

Setting up our cress plant investigation to test our predictions for ‘What do plants need to grow strong and healthy?’. #pdascience 🌻👀🤔💭

Diagnostic lesson in #pdascience - looking at all the reasons why our circuit might not light up.

In Science, we enjoyed learning all about the life cycle of a chicken and presenting what we had learnt as a diagram with detailed labelling. Great job! ⭐️🐣🐓#pdascience

We were fascinated when watching the time lapse of chicks hatching from the eggs, as we learned about the life cycle of a chicken. 🐣🐥🐓#pdascience

What a fun afternoon dropping our rockets into water! We spoke about why plastic is a good material as it floats in the water. We realised that the bottles needed to have the lids on so that the water didn’t get in and cause the rocket to sink! #pdascience #pdadt

This week, Year 3 have been investigating reflective materials and explaining why some materials are better reflectors than others. #pdascience

We have been learning about adults and their offspring in #pdascience . Using our great science vocabulary, we explained how offspring inherit their parent’s genes and so can resemble them.

We have had lots of fun this afternoon going on a planet hunt to find our class alien. We had to remember the properties of each planet and work together as a team to find them😁 #pdascience

We loved developing our learning about the heart by delving deeper…. inside it using an AR heart app! We could see the heart beat and all the arteries and veins connecting our incredible circulatory system! #pdascience

We have been learning all about the sun this afternoon. We talked about the importance of the sun and how it gives us light and energy. We then enjoyed creating our own suns which are now hanging throughout our classroom😁 #pdascience #pdaart

This week in #pdascience we have been learning all about how our bodies grow and develop as we move through childhood! We collected data from each class by measuring the children’s hand span and we analysed the data - finding the average hand span measurement for each class! 🖐🏼

An afternoon of consolidation in reception. We had lots of fun discussing all the things we have learnt this half term about plants/seeds and caterpillars. We are very proud of ourselves for remembering so much😁 #pdascience

We spent our afternoon making careful observations and grouping rocks based on their properties! #pdascience

We planned our own experiment to investigate the impact of different conditions on mould growth. We have bagged up bread in various locations around our school and eagerly examine it for mould growth daily! #pdascience

We have been learning all about butterflies this afternoon. We enjoyed learning about the different parts of a butterfly including the abdomen, thorax and antenna. We then drew our own butterflies 🦋 #pdascience

🪂 Today, we have been investigating Air Resistance! We made mini parachutes and tested how size affected the amount of resistance. The greater the surface area, the greater the number of air particles hit the object and the greater the overall resistance. #pdascience 🪂 🌟😊👏🏼

What a fun afternoon dropping our rockets into water! We spoke about why plastic is a good material as it floats in the water. We realised that the bottles needed to have the lids on so that the water didn’t get in and cause the rocket to sink! #pdascience #pdadt

We were fascinated when watching the time lapse of chicks hatching from the eggs, as we learned about the life cycle of a chicken. 🐣🐥🐓#pdascience

What a great investigation into demonstrating and understanding the effect of soap on germs! We need to make sure we know the importance of hygiene. #pdascience 🫧🧼🧴👏👍🤗

#pdascience

Fantastic retrieval in Science today! We were trying to remember the symbols and definitions for different electrical components! #pdascience

Learning all about how to keep our teeth clean and healthy😁 🦷 #pdascience #pdapshe

We loved using AR to explore the heart today in Science! #PDADigitalStrategy #PDAScience

Some superb work from Y5 looking at their new unit Materials. #PDAScience

Great work conducting our own investigation into shadows!We were clear about the variables we were changing and measuring and presented our results using a line graph #pdascience 🧑‍🔬💡🔦🥼

Our first lesson on our new science topic this week was spent reviewing some key knowledge on light, proving it travels in straight lines and representing scientific knowledge using diagrams #pdascience

Yesterday we learnt about how the rotation of the Earth and subsequent position of the sun shining on it, impacts upon shadows. We applied our knowledge to a real life problem designing a pool area for a hotel with areas of sunshine and shade! #pdascience

We have had lots of fun this afternoon going on a planet hunt to find our class alien. We had to remember the properties of each planet and work together as a team to find them😁 #pdascience

Creating our food group pyramid in #pdascience.

Today, we’ve been investigating how vibrations from sound travel through a medium to the ear, as well as exploring how we can ‘see’ sound #pdascience

Learning about water pollution, we were shocked to hear how many people die from drinking unsanitary water each year, which made us very grateful for what we have. We then wrote a newspaper report about when 143 litres of raw sewage was dumped into Lake Windermere #pdascience

Our opening lesson on Earth & Space! Here we are learning the 8 planets in order from the sun! We learned that the inner planets are terrestrial/ rocky planets.. whilst the outer planets are gas giants! 🪐 #pdascience 🌍

In Science, we have started our new unit on ‘Animals including Humans’. Today we began by learning the life cycle of humans! We discussed what happens at each stage and how we grow and develop! #pdascience 👍🏼

More investigations today in science 🥼🧑‍🔬We independently conducted and recorded an investigation into the effect different exercise types have on our heart rate. #pdascience

In #pdascience we looked at friction and how this affects objects moving on different surfaces.
