March 2019

Science Week

 

Thank you to all of the parents that attended the science drop in sessions. We had lots of positive feedback from parents who appreciated the opportunity to see their children working practically in cooperative groups, making predictions, investigating, closely observing changes and building up their science vocabulary.

Year 2 worked well in groups to test which ball was the bounciest. The children thought about ways to make the test fair and they predicted which ball they thought would be the best and why.

Year 5 worked well in groups to devise their own test to find out which plate held the most weight. The groups had to think of a question, decide which plates they would test and how they would make their tests fair. They then carried out their tests, recorded their results in a table and wrote a conclusion. As an extension I got the groups to think about how they could improve their tests.

Children in the early years have been learning about magnetism this week. They explored lots of materials to see if they were magnetic or non-magnetic. They found out that not all metals are magnetic.

The children in Reception. have been learning about different materials and their properties. The children enjoyed a walk around the school and the outside area and found lots of different materials. The children looked more closely at materials this week and described some of their properties.

Year 1 started their topic on using their senses today. The children worked in groups to draw round a person and then labelled the main body parts.

Year 4 worked in groups to read descriptions of sounds, such as, low, repeating and loud. They had to think of different ways to make a matching sound, such as, clapping, beat boxing and clicking. .

Coming up in the spring term...........

 

The topics the children will be covering this term will allow for more thinking, predicting and drawing on their conclusions. Years 1, 2 and 5 will be comparing and grouping a variety of materials on the basis of their simple physical properties. Year 4 will be identifying how sounds are made, associating them with something vibrating and will use data loggers to recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.

 

In March every year group will get the exciting opportunity to take part in Science week and we will be inviting parents to come up in and work with their children and see what happens in Science at Woodgate.

Year 4 have been learning about electricity this half term. They tested different materials to see which made good conductors. The children tested rubber, tin, aluminium, paper, wood, plastic and steel. We found out that all metals are electrical conductors and non-metals are electrical insulators.

Mrs Tew and 10 week old Alfie visited Year 2 to help them find out how to care for newborns. The children found out what Alfie already likes to do and what he uses in the bath to keep him nice and clean. Mrs Tew is enjoying being a new mummy very much.

Year 4 have been learning about solids,liquids and gases. To bring the scientific process to life the children linked arms pretending to be a solid, then slowly releasing their arms and moving on the spot to form a liquid and finally the children ran and leapt around the playground as gases.
