The children designed their own investigations to discover how shadows changed in relation to their proximity to a light source. The children considered the equipment they would need; the independent variable (what they would change); the controlled variables (what they would keep the same); and the dependent variable (what they would measure). They had some fanatstic scientific ideas and had lots of fun putitng their investigations into practice.

Timestable Chatter Boxes
During year 4, the children must learn all of their timestables from the ones to the twelves. We are always thinking of creative ways to do this from board games, whole class games, bingo, songs, rhymes and now, we have decided to make timestable chatterboxes. The children followed the instructions that were given to them very carefully and created some lovely chatterboxes. After this, each child listed down the eight multiplication facts that they struggle with most and wrote them on. Now, all that was left was to play and practise!

The Year 6 children took part in the 'Ready Steady Green' Eco workshop yesterday; delivered by Tracey from the St Helens Chamber. They took part in lots of fun activities and learnt that we all have the power to do our bit to stop climate change. They picked up lots of knew vocabulary and ideas to develop their understanding of climate change and made a pledge of one thing they would change to help lower the methane and CO2 emissions which are having a devastating effect on our environment. They were also able to make their own key rings out of recycled tshirts.
Super fun and informative!
Thank you Tracey!

Electrical Circuits
Today, Y4 have been investigating to see whether materials are a conductor or an insulator. We used knowledge that we have been taught from previous lessons about complete and incomplete circuits to create a suitable investigation.
Children discovered that if they made a complete circuit and checked the lightbulb worked that would prove that the electricity was able to flow around the circuit. They decided that they would need to create a gap and then put different materials in the gap to see if they would allow electricity to pass through them.
The children made predictions first of all as to which materials would be conductors and which would be insulators, Then, they tested them! They absoloutley loved testing the materials and seeing whether the light bulbs lit up or not!

Viking Gary
Today, the children were amazed to discover that they had a visit from a real-life Viking!
Viking Gary had set out a display of all his Viking artefacts and collectables. During the morning session, we learnt about how Vikings lived, where they came from and why they travelled to England, what they believed in, how they made many of their tools and how they fought!
After lunchtime, the children had four different tasks to do! The first one was to study the ancient artefacts and answer questions about them. The second activity was to create a Viking oil lamp out of clay. The third, we created and played a Viking board game and lastly, we learnt how to fight like a Viking! (As you can see from our pictures!)

This half term, some children in Y3 have been using different texts about rocks and fossils and forces and magnets in Reading lessons. They have been developing fluency and using their 'evidence finding pens' to help them to find answers to comprehension questions in the texts they have been reading.
Here they are performing 'Forces of Nature' - a poem all about the force of a storm - they have learned about how the poet uses personfication and what effect this has on the reader.

1) Sketching native British animals
2) Blending using charcoal
3) Mixing own paints using flour, water and spices to create a 'Prehistoric pallette'
4) Using different natural resources (lentils, cous cous, bulgar wheat) to create a textured 'cave' background
5) Using original sketches to create an animal 'cave painting'
5) Using different brushes and paints to outline and colour animal image
