Science learning

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 creatures living there. A huge thankyou to the team from Susan’s Farm for hosting us and delivering such an exciting and informative range of activities that we could enjoy despite the challenges of the weather! We can’t wait to arrange a return visit.

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.
