Middle school’s science topic for this half term is ‘habitats and adaptations’. After identifying some of the main global habitats, we concentrated on the smaller habitats within each. Forests could also contain underground tunnels, homes beneath bark or arboreal dwellings. 
we focused on the…

On Thursday the children used their scientific skills to go and find what lives in different micro habitats. They did lots of observing, questioning, hypothesising and recorded their findings. 
 

This week in science the children learnt about the different types of habitats animals can live in. Then we went outside exploring the local habitat around our school. The children drew a map of the area and then we listed the names of all the animals that may live there.

As part of Year 6’s revision, we explored the parts of a circle (circumference, radius and diameter). To bring this to life, Year 6 also learnt how to draw circles using a protractor. After exploring various techniques, they were then ready to measure their circles. By setting their protractor…

We began our design and technology project this week and in our first two sessions the children investigated wheels and axles. The children looked closely at wheels before having a go at attaching wheels to an axle and a basic chassis to deepen their understanding. In our next sessions the…
