This morning, the Doves have been working scientifically. They were already aware that exercise causes your heart rate to increase, having done this in LKS2.

The children have looked for correlations between your height and your heart rate and have investigated …
Last week, the Doves all got their hands dirty and created a working model of the process of digestion. The pictures speak for themselves but, their faces really were a picture.

To celebrate Black History Month and to support our continued learning about tolerance, kindness and understanding of others, we watched the Bigfoot Education film on All Aboard The Windrush. The children were fascinated to learn about the journey that many people took from Jamaiaca to the UK in 1948. They could not believe that it …

Afternoon, everybody. In Doves and Kingfishers today, we have been investigating how to sort materials. To begin with, the children were asked to categorise the random assortment of materials however they pleased. Initially, they grouped them by: size, natural vs man-made, metallic vs plant based, ‘see throughness’ and flexibility. Following the lesson, the children then …
Well, where to begin?! What a final week we have had and what a tournament overall.
