Wednesday 22 March 2023 British Science Week 2023 The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities in British Science Week. They completed the Happy Smells activity, thinking about how smells can invoke memories and feelings, and can also make us aware of danger. As well as thinking about smells that make us happy, the children also had to identify hidden smells such as lemon, curry powder, strawberry jam and Marmite.

Wednesday 25 January 2023 Winter Walk Reception and Year One explored outdoors on a Winter Walk as part of our science lesson this week. We were looking for signs of winter and we found plenty. There was snow, frost and ice, trees were missing leaves, and we saw very few flowers (just the signs of snowdrops and daffodils starting to grow).

Wednesday 19 October 2022 Something has hatched! The children in Oak Class were very surprised and delighted to find a golden egg outside our classroom on their way into school one morning. It was surrounded by black scorch marks! The children decided to try to hatch the egg - there were many different theories as to what might be inside! The children made a soft nest and we put the egg in a warm, quiet place. We tried to find relevant information in the story 'The Egg.' In the story, George has to wait 3 days for his egg to hatch! Our egg finally hatched on day 3 too and hiding inside was a very cute baby dragon. The children chose to call him Chip.
