Experiment a rocket‎ by KS1

/in /by

This week in ‘Science Week’ our super scientists in year 1 & 2 have been learning all about Isaac Newton and Neil Armstrong’s discoveries. We have been learning about Neil Armstrong’s exploration to the moon. In science we have been learning about Isaac Newton’s discoveries and theories on his 3 laws of motion. The children made predictions about their experiment. We walked to the local park to launch our rockets. Children used empty fruit shoot bottles and mixed vinegar with baking soda and observed a movement which eventually reacted. The children had a great time making scientific discoveries.

 

 

Science week visitors – January 2019

/in /by

We were really lucky to invite a midwife, an optician and an electrician who are all friends of the school to come in and share their journeys of how they came into their careers with the children. They brought in equipment and shared what science related  topics they needed to study for their jobs. The children asked many questions and were clearly inspired by our visitors. All 3 visitors highlighted the importance of getting a good education and making an impact in the community they live in.

 

 

Science Boffin show – January 2019

/in /by

Our Science boffin Olly,  mesmerised the children with a fun filled science show that included  different experiments testing their observation skills. The children were amazed by seeing 3 small quantities of chemicals making such a huge amount of toothpaste fit enough for an elephant. The Bernoulli’s principle was shown, where a stream of air travelled with metres of loo roll, and was  flung across the room as the air carried it over the children. What a show!!
