Once they had chosen their object, theyContinue reading “Wednesday 27th January 2021”

After practicing our scientific vocabulary last week, we were ready to do more investigating! All children were given the hypothesis ‘Hard Materials cannot absorb water.’ and asked to find out if it is true or not. First, everyone was asked to find a range of materials around their environment, classifying them into one of twoContinue reading “Wednesday 20th January 2021”

Today we focussed entirely on vocabulary. After last lesson, which demonstrated excellent practical and enquiry skills, it was evident in discussion that we sometimes struggled to choose the right vocabulary effectively. Here are some examples of some of the work we did and the vocabulary we chose.
