STEM Chatter
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.
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 Year 3 enjoyed making oobleck and learning about non-newtonian fluid!
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
We are enjoying celebrating Science week! We’ve learnt lots of new things…did you know, if you put double cream into a pot and shake, shake, shake and shake some more…it turns into butter!!! We each made our own butter, then spread it on to some crackers to enjoy for snack. Isn’t science amazing 🤩
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!
LFC Foundation Central Library Trip
Some of our Year 3 children enjoyed their trip to Central Library yesterday where they got a tour of the library and got read a story. We even programmed our own robot to tell our own made up stories!
If you were an engineer, what would you do – competition!
These children have celebrated their engineering success, having received a certificate from Primary Engineer for their amazing invention entries.
They received a grading of Pass, Merit or Distinction and those that received Distinction Shortlisted, were in the final to become an overall winner!
Well done Children!
Y2 Science
Congratulations to the amazing members of 2D who have earned certificates as part of the “If you were an engineer what would you do?” engineering project.
Summer 1 fun!
5H have had so much fun learning this half term! There’s been DT week, well-being and sports day! We also celebrated the Science week engineering projects, who won certificates. Well done for all your hard work! Have a lovely half term. See you on the 3rd June for the final half term of the year!!
Aspirations Week
As part of our aspirations week, Abbie came into school to speak to us about mechanical engineering. She was an inspiration to us all! We enjoyed the building bridges challenge. The bridges that were built by Carter, Jacob, Ana and Sapphire were strong enough to hold 3 to 4 metal spanners! We have some fabulous creative problem solvers in Y6!
Thank you Abbie for coming in to tell us about engineering.
Aspirations week – Biomedical scientist
We ended our aspirations week with a chat from a lovely Biomedical scientist!
She told us all about the interesting journey of a blood sample and once again, many of us asked some great questions about blood.
