The children have created their own scientific experiments this term, focusing on the key components of scientific investigations. They looked at what needed to be controlled within their experiments and even made predictions on what they thought might happen. The results were then recorded and…

EYFS have been exploring, observing and investigating. We discovered that we can create rainbows with felt tip pens, kitchen roll and water. 

Conditioner and cornflour were combined to make Moodough. After lots of stirring and kneading it eventually formed a soft, smooth dough. As it crumbled,…

To support their studies of the Victorian Era, the children in year 5 went on an exciting and inspiring visit to the Chiltern Open Air Museum. They had a chance to travel back in time, and try their hand at brick-making, toy-building and rag-rug weaving. The children thoroughly enjoyed this…
