Science Morning Family learning Day Year 3/4

On Friday children from year 3 and 4 planned and taught a lesson to children and parents from year 5 and 6.

The learning was based around work we had been doing this term on food chains. The children planned and led the teaching and they also supported the parents and year 5 and 6 children in doing two activities. The first was to create a mind map to show examples of producers, primary consumers and secondary consumers. The second activity was to link animals and plants from a particular habitat into a food web.

Parents Feedback Comments

KS2 Science Morning – 5 and 6 class

Our experiment this morning was to see how much energy was in food.

The children led the teaching, and after planning their lesson, taught the younger children about the chemical reaction of acid and zinc, and all groups explored what the potential energy of potatoes and lemons could be!

Year 5 and 6 UEA science-orama!

On Wednesday the 8th June, we traveled by coach to the INCREDIBLE new Eco building at the UEA.

When inside the futuristic cool design, we learnt about flowering plant’s life cycles, how your heart loves berries due to anthrocyanins (ask the children!) and how plants have been used for millennia to treat and sooth illnesses.

All in all, and excellent trip, and the children loved looking a round a busy happy campus.

Crocodiles Class travel back in time (…to 1896)

On Tuesday our class visited Great Cressingham Victorian School. Our teacher for the day was Miss North who said as we were about to leave “You may have been learning about the Victorians but today…you have been  Victorians”. The stove was lit and  we spent the morning doing drills, chants, reading, writing and mathematics, we learnt songs and sang them as Miss North played the accordian and the harmonium. It was a very interesting experience to listen to the ticking of the clock, hear the scratching on slates and think about how different our classrooms are nowadays.

“Who do you think you are?” Local history in Crocodiles immersive environment

As part of our theme this term we are reading the book ‘Street Child’ by Berlie Doherty. This book is based around the story of Jim Jarvis who was the street child who was befriended by Dr Thomas Barnardo and was the inspiration for his work with the poor and deprived children of Victorian London. Jim and fellow street urchins were sleeping up on the roof above a market in east London. While the book is our starting point we want to examine what happened to our locality during Queen Victoria’s reign.
