Year 4 have been watching their broad beans grow steadily this week. It was fabulous to see how they are able to watch the root and shoot crack out of the seed. Some of the beans unfortunately aren't doing so well but others are growing amazingly. These will be being planted in our new vegetable beds very soon.

Year 4 have been learning about digestion and how food is processed. They have worked well together to create a life size model of the digestive system and managed to label the parts too.
Our Pupil Leaders have decided that every Wednesday is a wellbeing 'check-in' day. On Wellbeing Wednesday we take time to chat, to do yoga, meditation and share things on our mind. Staff and pupils are joining in with these special days every week. Join in at home too and talk to each other.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 class who worked really hard to organise and run the Science Fair today. They were superb role models for our younger children and have shared their scientific knowledge so well all morning. Please look through the photographs.

A massive congratulations to Sam and Sophia for their wonderful science work his week. Well done to Eva and Luca for earning the Good to be Green pencils too. Great work everyone.

Year 4 had the opportunity to visit the Year 6 science fair today. They learnt about mixing chemicals, buoyancy, famous scientists, sound, chemical compounds, microscopes, gases, the human body and paper rockets. It was absolutely fantastic and extremely memorable. Well done Year 6.

On Tuesday the Science Boffin Vicki visited Broadbent Fold as part of British Science Week.
During the assembly we watched paper disappear when she lit it on fire - this is special paper called 'flash paper'
Miss Harvey was kindly volunteered to have water tipped on her head... luckily the water had disappeared from the cup. This was because slush powder was in the bottom of the cup- this is a special powder which absorbs water. This is what is used in disposable nappies.

Year 4 have been planting broad beans so that they can observe the stages of germination. As part of the British Science week topic of growth, Year 4 will be watching their broad beans root and shoots grow as they were placed somewhere they would have warmth, air and water so that they could germinate. Keep checking our blogs for updates on our broad bean plants.

We had a fabulous visitor in school today. Science Boffins set the day off with a great assembly where we saw flames, Miss Harvey experimented on, elephant toothpaste and an invisible baby dragon.
The day continued with an amazing workshop for Year 4, where we learnt about static electricity, how the film industry do stunts and we managed to make slime.
We ended the day with a rocket launch and we were amazed at how far it reached up in he air.
A brilliant immersion into lots of different elements of science.
