Class 3 go birdwatching!

18th May 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 3 had a lovely afternoon birdwatching today!

As part of our science lessons, we’ve been looking at the birds, plants and trees that Little Red Riding Hood might find in our school grounds.

Today we spotted a sparrow, some blackbirds, some magpies, a blue tit, and lots of seagulls and pigeons. We then recorded our findings and explained where we found each bird.

We had a great time exploring and observing.

World Science Day 2020

10th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

On Tuesday 10th November we celebrated World Science Day at West Boldon! Every class looked at a famous scientist linked to their topic.

Year 1 looked at the scientist James Dewar (inventor of the flask) as well as insulation.

Their experiment was to put Vaseline on one of their fingers and dip one finger with Vaseline and one finger without into cold water and describe the different feelings. We found that the finger without Vaseline felt cold in the water whereas the one with felt warmer and a bit different. We talked about the meaning of insulation, looked at James’ invention, described these feelings in our books and draw pictures of what the experiment looked like. They really enjoyed it.
Year 2 celebrated World Science Day with a tribute to a very famous, Victorian scientist.
Florence, as a child, followed her determination to become a nurse. She trained other nurses to go to the Crimean war and make the hospital clean, and care for wounded soldiers.
Florence worked long hours and would tend to the injured soldiers at night holding her lamp. She became known as The Lady with the Lamp. Florence wrote books on Nursing and  is also credited for helping to popularise the pie chart.
Her revolutionary nursing earned her an award from Queen Victoria and her legacy serves to show much of what we now know about clean, organised hospital conditions today and is thanks to her hard work and research.
Florence Nightingale changed nursing forever. She is the real hero of Victorian science!

Year 3 looked at palaeontologist Mary Anning and her work on fossils.

They created a fossil jar whereby jelly represented the soil and sweets represented the animal remains. Each day this week they will add a new layer of jelly to the jar representing how soil layers occur over time. They talked about how these fossils form and also made a zigzag book!

Year 4 looked at Micheal Faraday today for their Science Day project.

They quizzed and found out about some famous scientists and inventors. Then they completed a treasure hunt fact finding mission to answer questions about Faraday’s life and inventions. The children worked in pairs to move around the 2 classrooms looking for the answers and then presented it beautifully.

Year 6 looked at Charles Darwin to link to their topic on Evolution. They all created a factfile about him explaining why he is so important in his field.

What wonderful scientists we have at West Boldon!

Why are humans not like tigers?

15th October 2020Miss K. Wilkinson
In Year 1 this week we have been learning about animals and their different bodies. Our topic is ‘Why are humans not like tigers?’ which deals with Animals including Humans. We had great fun making new animals using the different body parts. We made sure we put them in the right places and we created some weird and wonderful new animals.
Take a look at some of our creations!

Investigating waterproof materials

7th February 2020R Smith

Year 1 have carried out a test to find waterproof materials for Beegu. We used the same amount of water on each material to ensure it was a fair test. We can sort and classify materials

Learning Challenge: Can you sort and classify?

25th November 2019R Smith

Year 1 children are learning about hot and cold places in the world.

We have sorted animals based on their habitats. We can identify animals based on their features and ability to survive in hot and cold climates.
