To deepen our understanding of how air resistance works, we designed and tested our own parachutes to investigate how the size of the canopy affects the time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground....
In Science this week, Year 4 observed how ice hands had melted throughout the day. They learned about the process of melting and how this has happened due to the temperature in the room being higher than the ice hand. We learned that when solids...
In Science we are looking at different types of soil. Our first lesson was spent learning about what soil is and observing and describing different types of soil....
In Science this week, Year 4 observed frozen ice hands through the day to notice the change from solid to liquid. They learned that temperature affects the speed of a solid melting into a liquid....
In Science this week, we have been using Carolus Linnaeus’ taxonomy system to group and identify various plants. We also explored six ways in which we could group them by their characteristics such as flowering, non-flowering or vascular and non-vascular....
In Science we are learning about rocks. We investigated how rocks can be different. We drew our observations and then wrote down the properties we noticed....
This week in Science, we carried out an enquiry to investigate friction. We tested different surfaces to find out which ones created more friction and which ones created less. By comparing how objects moved across these surfaces, we were able to see that some materials...
In club this week, the children learned about earthquakes and the damage they could do to our buildings. The children then designed their own earthquake proof buildings by looking at real life designs and considering the best shapes and styles, after having a go at...
After many weeks of fantastic learning at Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, Year 1 enjoyed a very special graduation event this week. The children enjoyed being presented with a certificate, their very own garden journal, their lavender bags and a beautiful non-fiction book. Thank you Dalston...
This week, year 4 designed and started to make their sustainable cities. Over the past two weeks, the children have learnt about ways for humans to adapt to our changing world. We have now started to build our cities and we will make them super...
