Creating Christingles
We really enjoyed creating our Christingles for our service.
Ice Cream Making in Science
This week in science we applied our knowledge of changing states to create our own ice cream. Method and recipe coming soon.
Christmas has arrived at The Howard
What an incredible way to kick of the festive period.
Thank you to all of our wonderful parent volunteers for such a fantastic Christmas craft day. The children have thoroughly enjoyed creating a range of beautiful crafts inside and in our forest school. We are very much feeling in the festive…
Investigating water resistance with play doh shapes
This week in science class 3 investigated how the surface area of shapes affected how fast they sank or floated. They designed a fair test creating their own shapes to investigate. We then used the knowledge from the test to create a streamlined boat from foil. Whose boat will win the…
Next stop, India
Our next stop around the world was India. We caught the steamship over then travelled by train through the Indian jungle. We even rode on an elephant! Where will our journey take us next?
Changing States
This week we completed a great investigation focusing on melting points. We looked at how adding heat could change something from a solid to a liquid. Which do you think melted quickest the jelly or the chocolate?
Around the World in 80 days
In English this term our focus text is Around the World in 80 days. This morning we attempted the same journey as Mr Fogg. We boarded our train in London and visited several countries across Europe taking in the sites, sounds and smells from our train window. Next stop, India.
Investigating states of matter
This week in science we have furthered our understanding of states of matter through some exciting investigations.
Why don’t you try one at home, pop some raisins in a glass of lemonade and see what happens.
Super Shadow Puppets
Over the holidays the children were given an optional task of creating shadow puppets based on their learning from their science unit on light. This week we have watched all of the shadow puppet plays, it was fantastic to see all of the hard work that went into these. Well done! What a creative…
Investigating materials
Year 3 and 4 have been investigating materials and using their comparison skills to determine whether they were solids, liquids or gasses. They then grouped the materials into vent diagrams looking at whether some materials could be categorised as both.
Delving further into this term’s value of respect
This week the assembly team performed their drama based around the story of Moses and the Burning Bush. They worked so hard on their performance which helped further enhance our understanding of what respect is and can mean to others.
Evaluating Investigations in Science
In Science this week our investigation centred around identifying the best material to make curtains. We used our lux metres to measure how much light each material allowed through and then used the results to inform our decisions. We then evaluated how we would tweak our investigation next time.
