Flinty Fell  had a visit from Professor K Walsh today who is an Astronomer-in-Residence at Westminster School in London.
He came to talk to us about the Universe and the planets, he answered all the questions the pupils had for him and really helped to deepen everyone's understanding. Thankyou…

Middle Fell really enjoyed bringing their science learning to life by taking part in a digestion experiment today, great work Middle Fell!

Cross Fell are really enjoying watching to see how our plants are changing over time and are working hard to make sure that they are allowing the plants to thrive by caring for them in the right way.

What an amazing show the children from the Federation enjoyed this morning with Professor Pumpernickel.

Some super work in science looking at a range of different seeds today, we talked about what was the same and what was different and then worked on observing closely to identify the different seeds using the seed packets to help us. We ended our session by following the instructions to carefully…

Today in science we have been thinking about materials. We investigated whether we could change the shape of a range of materials by pushing, pulling, stretching and bending. Careful testing everyone- well done!

Today we have been testing a selection of materials using a pipette to simulate raindrops and consider why some materials let water through and others do not, we linked our learning to our superhero topic to see if we could find the best materials to fix our superhero's suit. It was fantastic to…

Middle Fell today had a day filled with poetry writing/editing in Literacy, exploring the UK in Geography and even participated in the BBC’s Live Winterwatch from the comfort of their own classroom!

They learned lots about how habitats, food chains and biomes all interact with one another as…

Middle Fell have really enjoyed making their own instruments using what they have found out about pitch and volume.

We loved learning about seasonal changes and how to stay safe on those long Winter nights.

Wonderful learning about seasonal weather today, we have loved making our own windmills and identifying different kinds of weather.
