Sunflower competition
The PTFA are running a growing competition that everyone can get involved with.
Packs are available from all of the places listed on the poster and it is your chance to show off all of the knowledge we have gained in our science lessons on plants to really get your sunflower thriving- who will…
Gardening success
We were delighted to be awarded not only a level 2 but also a level 3 RHS gardening award. The award is testament to the hard work the children have put in from our initial request that came from the children themselves to do more gardening in school after they were so enthused with our plants topic to the resilience they showed when some of our plants did not thrive and problem solving to make our outside area look better and better each year. We can’t wait to carry on our gardening journey and now that we have a gardening club up and running we are sure that our growing efforts will go from strength to strength.
A huge thankyou to everyone who has donated plants and seeds for us to use – our school community is always such a great support and we are extremely grateful!
Animal diets- carnivore, herbivore or omnivore?
In our Science lessons we have been learning that there are many different ways in which living things can be classified, including their habitat, their diet, or how they raise their young.
We started our session today by classifying animals based on the type of animal, such as fish, birds,…
Growth over time
In Science Cross Fell have been thinking about whether plants need soil to grow- well here is the answer so far! The beans have started to grow, we continue to observe their growth over time to see how they change and compare with the ones we planted in soil. Which will give us the healthiest…
British Science Week 2024
As part of British Science week Cross Fell have been busy conducting some planting experiments linking in with this year's theme- time.
We have all taken home some pots and seeds so that we can involve our families in our Science learning and hopefully spread some cheer in the community once…
What do plants need to grow well?
We really enjoyed our Science today getting hands on starting to learn about what plants need to grow well. We carefully prepared our pots before planting our seeds and will monitor how they grow over the next few weeks- share our Science learning by checking back soon for an updated picture so…

Super seeds
In our Science today we looked in the school grounds to see which plants were growing and where.
We also examined a range of fruits and vegetables to see what we could see and were amazed to see the seeds contained inside- we have set ourselves a challenge to try to grow some ourselves!
Which house is the strongest?
Today in Science we have been making houses for The Three Little Pigs from sticks, straw and Lego to see which is the strongest material so that the Big Bad Wolf cannot blow them down!
Materials and their uses
We continued our work on materials in our Science sessions this week.
Unfortunately Cross Fell were not impressed by Mrs Brown's new inventions and were very quick to point out why they thought that a glass hammer, chocolate tea pot and cardboard shoes were not going to make her rich and famous…
