Science Chatter
Investigating materials
5M were exploring properties of different materials this afternoon, examining how their features make them suitable for various uses.
5H Heat insulation experiment
We enjoyed experimenting with different materials to see which was the best insulator. Tin foil and felt where great insulators!
6B Shadow Experiment
6B investigated how shadows change size depending on the distance from a light source.
Design and Technology
Beginning to put our designs together.
Can you guess what we are making?
5M Design and Technology
We had great fun designing these steady hand games and are looking forward to trying out each other’s to help evaluate them.
We love that we got to create an electrical circuit to test them out!
Investigating thermal insulation!
5M have used independent, dependent and controlled variables to investigate thermal insulation.
Firstly, we needed to learn how to read a thermometer correctly.
Winter Planting
Today in science we planted some seeds, we are very excited to watch them grow. Today we looked at the words: flower, stem, leaf and roots.
Science – Collecting Data
As part of our science we have collecting data around school of what we could observe. We had 4 categories : vertebrate, invertebrate, flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Science Week 👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬🧫🔬🧬
Today we explored animals for science week! We looked at animals which live on farms. We also explored different wild animals and made our very own masks.
Science Week -Year One
Great start to Science week in Year One exploring different types of “beak” tools (tweezers, spoons, straws and chops sticks) to pick up different “food” (rice, gummy worms and marbles.)
British Science Week 2025 – Change and adapt!
A great start to our science week in year 5 today!
Assembly got us hyped up for a fun week of investigations, followed by a fabulous chat with members of the Knowsley Safari Park team about how to be a Planet Protector!
Later on we investigated camouflage by adapting our moth to blend into its environment for survival.
Knowsley Safari
This morning Knowsley Safari spoke to use about how our little actions can impact on animals and nature. We discussed how to make more sustainable choices.

Blubber Gloves
As part of Science week, we’ve been learning about how penguins have adapted to their environment. Blubber helps them keep warm, we did a taste to see how blubber keeps our hands warm.

Science Week 🔬👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬🧬
Today reception have explored changing materials! Today we turned cream into butter and buttermilk. We shook the cream until it separated into butter and buttermilk. We can’t wait to use our butter tomorrow for our crackers for snack!
Y2 Science Week
”Different birds need different shaped beaks to pick up different types of food.”
Super discussion during the first day of Science Week- during Beak Buffet 2D tested out different “beaks” for picking up food and discussed which were the best.
Y2 Science Week
”When you touched the coloured milk with the cotton bud, it looked like little clouds.” 2D carried out a magic milk experiment to explore how things changed when they are mixed.
Y2 Science Week
Today we worked with Mr Moffatt to explore Indi robots and how they move- we worked out how to use the base boards to make it move in different directions.
Science Week 👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬🔬🧬
Today Reception have explored engineering. We programmed the Bee Bots to move across the grid.
Science Week 👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬🔬🧬
Reception enjoyed their butter this morning on crackers for snack!🧈
Spring 💐🌷🌻
Today Reception explored the parts of a flower!🌺 We have begun to look at how the season of spring is when plants and flowers start to grow and bloom after winter.
Science Week- Zoom with an engineer
Today Reception had a zoom with an engineer! They told us how rockets get into space! 🪐🚀🛰️
Science Week!
Today Year 3 enjoyed making oobleck and learning about non-newtonian fluid!
SCIENCE WEEK
Year 4 have been loving Science week🔬
So far, we have enjoyed a talk from Knowsley safari park.
We also have been investigating how animals adapt to their environment by conducting a blubber experiment.
Science Week
We enjoyed having Knowsley Safari in this week to teach us about the dangers of plastic for animals
TECHNOLOGY
We have been learning about STEM in Science Week. Today, we looked at technology. We enjoyed using AI and coding to make our robots talk.
Science Week, day 2
Today we have been making our own butter. We even got to try it on a cracker. We could not believe we were able to make our own butter. It was a lot of hard work and took a lot of perseverance, but we did it!
Science Week 🧬👨🏽🔬👩🏻🔬🔬
Today reception explored weather for science week! We did an experiment to show how clouds rain 🌧️. We used water, foam and food colouring for our experiment🧪
Science Week, Day 3.
Today we have had lots of fun doing a science experiment about the weather. We have learnt about the rain and got to be scientists and experiment it all on our own.
Science week
3M have enjoyed taking part in Science Week. We have completed the ‘Blubber Gloves’ experiment which explores how animals adapt, made Oobleck which is a substance that acts as both a solid and a liquid and designed our very own invention that will help us.
Science Week
We looked at how birds have adapted to pick things up with their beaks by picking up objects with various things. We decided that the spoons were the best.
Year 2 Computing and Science
Another element of science week is computing. This week we looked at robots. We programmed the robots to move based on the colours they register.
Science week
We had a real life rocket engineer speak to us this week, he answered our questions about rockets and what it takes to be an engineer. We will keep practicing our science and maths!
science Week in year 5
5H has had fun this week during Science Week. We have explored different scientists, attempted to make bouncy eggs (unfortunately they were still very raw) and even designed our own inventions! What fun!
Science Week
During Science week, we made our own butter! We poured double cream into a jar, and we shook, and shook, and shook some more until…it turned into butter! We then enjoyed our butter on our crackers 🥰
Y2 Science
Today 2D went on a mini beast hunt during their science lesson on microhabitats.
Year 2 Science
This week we studied micro habitats. We went in the hunt for some mini beasts in our school grounds.
Stay and Learn
Reception had a fun afternoon with their adults! We showed our adults our classroom. We took part in different activities such as; colour mixing, flower blooming, Easter egg designing, tulip printing and tower building with 3D shapes!
