STEM Science Assembly Y6 2025
Y6 joined a STEM Science assembly about Tech for Space. They learned lots about space travel and exploration and the technology equated to make this possible. They found out about all the different types of engineering jobs that involve designing and making the technology that enables humans to…
Year 4 Digestive System Investigation
To conclude our topic on The Digestive System, Year 4 donned their lab coats ready to investigate how the process of digestion takes place. The children were given a range of different items which replicate the digestive organs. Working in teams, the children then planned their own investigations.…
Year 5 Friction Experiment
Year 5 students have been learning about friction in science. To explore its effects, they conducted an experiment using jelly cubes. They tried to pick up the cubes from a paper plate but found it difficult because the cubes stuck to the plate due to the higher friction. To reduce the friction,…
Fun at the Farm
Year 1 had a fantastic day visiting Strudda Bank Farm as a part of British Science weeks. The children loved learning about life on the farm. They found out about all the crops that are grown and how the farm reuses it’s resources and keeps waste down. They loved meeting some new born lambs and…
Cuddles with feathered friends
Today the Reception children have thoroughly enjoyed holding the chicks - only 48 hours old! Cuteness overload! They all handled with them with such care and love. The chicks lapped up the attention.
Y2 Visit Strudda Bank Farm March 2025
Year 2 went to visit Strudda Bank Farm as part of Science Week. Farmer Kev and Farmer Vicky told them about the importance of farms in the food chain and were able to handle the many foods that are created from each grain. Then they showed the children around the farm and introduced them to the…
Earth and Space Workshop in Year 5
Year 5 had an exciting science workshop yesterday led by Alex, a physics graduate. They learned about the Earth's rotation around the sun and how it spins on its axis, which causes day and night as well as the seasons. At the same time, the moon rotates around the Earth. To help us understand…
Nursery 2025 Mini beasts
This week in Nursery we started our new topic ‘How does your garden and its creatures grow?’.
We had a go at painting and creating our very own minibeasts using our hand prints!
Science Workshop Y5 and 6
Year 5 and 6 took part in a science workshop at St. Bees school. They found out that using different chemicals in flames changes the colour, and they had a a great time making popping sounds by putting a flame in a test tube with gas. They also were fascinated watching their friends' hair stand on…
Year 3 test surfaces friction
Year 3 have been testing surfaces to see which one creates the most friction on a toy car. They sent the car down a ramp, onto a variety of different surfaces and discovered that grass created the most friction.
They measured how far the car travelled and tested each surface three times to…
Year 1 Keswick Museum trip
We had the most amazing trip to Keswick Museum. The children’s behaviour was outstanding and they made us really proud showing off all they have already learnt about fossils. We learnt all about the history of the local area and how the landscape has changed. We found out about how important…
Year 4 What is Matter? Science Investigation
In Science this week we have started our Chemistry topic about the states of matter. We set up and performed our own investigations into the matter contained in each object. We discovered that whilst some objects may have the same mass, the size they take up is different. We also discovered that…
