British Science Week - Change and Adaptation!

Date: 13th Mar 2025 @ 12:02pm

Hello

This week we have celebrated British Science Week. On Wednesday, we spent the day celebrating Science and all of the amazing things that we have been learning. 

We started the morning with a Science Boffins assembly where we learned all about hydrogels that absorb water and make it 'disappear' as well as experiments with household items such as washing up liquid. 

In class, we have been learning all about living things and their habitats. We finished our morning by completing our habitat investigations, investigating the rainforest habitat and the animals that live there. The children chose different rainforest animals and drew these in their books, labelling the different features and how these help the animals to survive. 

In the afternoon, we then made all of our different habitats. We used sand to create the Sahara desert, water to create the ocean, broccoli to make trees for our rainforest and even made our own snow for the Artic. The children then used different materials and tools such as play-doh and lego to make the different animals and features of the different habitats. The children were all so absorbed in the activites and really used their learning to discuss and create the habitats. Look at the photos below of our Ocean, Artic, Rainforest and Desert habitats.
