Science learning

Some photos from Middle Fell's  Science session as 'Rock Detectives'! Here they are investigating the hardness and permeability of different rock samples to determine if they are igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks.

Cross Fell really enjoyed getting hands on with their learning this week when they created different habitats in a tray to see which one the woodlice would choose as their new home. It was lovely to see everyone observing so carefully discussing what they could see and showing real care and…

Today in our Science learning Mrs Brown had planned for us to investigate spiders but as we are so fascinated by worms we changed our plans to go with our new found interest in all things wriggly to look at toy worms and compare them to some actual worms.

We thought about how we knew if each…

Park Fell let their butterflies go today. The didn’t want to leave at first! Just goes to show how well Park Fell must have cared for them 

We were fortunate enough to enjoy a visit to Aglionby wetlands this week where we took part in a range of activities to enhance our learning of our Science topic. We loved getting out and about in a range of habitats to take part in a scavenger hunt and were amazed to find the large variety of…

This afternoon Park Fell have been looking at the life cycle of a chicken using a video and non fiction book to help us gather information, it was lovely to build on our first hand experiences of hatching eggs into chicks and support this by using secondary sources of information to really…

Today in our NUFC session we are drawing our learning in PE and Science together to learn about nutrition. We are looking at foods to keep our bodies fit and healthy. Thankyou to Miss Ives from Newcastle United for such a fantastic and informative session.

Park Fell have been waiting patiently for the eggs in the incubator to hatch and they have finally been rewarded for their patience! It was lovely to see the children in both Park Fell and Cross Fell handling the chicks so carefully talking about the life cycles that they are witnessing first…

Lots of excitement today in school, we have 9 chicks and 2 more to hatch. Our caterpillars are growing fast and the tadpoles are too.

Some super work in science today, we have been learning about and creating habitats. It was lovely to see everyone researching using the tablets to create a fact file and explain a little more about the models we made last week, building our learning step by step using technology to help us.

This afternoon Park Fell learnt about the frog lifecycle. Learning the names of each part. Frogspawn, tadpole, froglet and frog.

Middle Fell have been having an excellent time today experimenting with simple circuits in Science. Well done everyone it was so lovely to see you getting so hands on and immersed in your learning.
