25th June: Goat on a Boat
What a busy morning Miss Common’s Year 1 class have had. We’ve been exploring floating and sinking with a little help from the youngest Billy Goats Gruff.
We’ve designed, tested, taken measurements and redesigned to ensure that the goat made it safely across the river.
You can find out all about our workshop by clicking Goat on a Boat.
May 5th: Volcanoes!
Joe and Sarah have been in today investigating volcanoes with Year 4.
You’ll have dribbled honey down slopes and – let’s admit it – left some of that honey on our samples of volcanic rocks with your sticky fingers. So tomorrow, Sarah will be washing rocks in the Think Lab sink. Not to worry.
For a reminder of what you studied, and some activities to continue your exploring at home, see our Volcano Workshop page.
Meteorites workshop – 26th March
Iron meteorite from Chaco, Argentina. One of the ‘Campo del Cielo’ fragments first found in 1576.
Joe’s been in today with a big old bag of rocks. No, I’m sorry, I misread his diary: he’s been in with a big bag of old rocks.
Want to know more about meteorites? We’ve a page of information about the rocks you saw today over here. Tell your parents which meteorites you saw and handled, and find out what makes them important, unusual, or interesting.
