Super Science Projects

As part of our Science learning this half term, we have been learning about different habitats. Mr Scott challenged the whole phase to choose a species and create an informative piece of writing on it.

We were also lucky to have a visitor, Rebecca, from the Hancock Museum who brought stuffed animals for us to examine to see how they are suited to their habitats to inspire the children even more.

We found a range of different species in the grass and bark habitats that are in the school grounds. The children tried very hard to capture these mini beasts.

The children accepted this challenge with great enthusiasm and we have recieved some excellent projects. These have come in the style of fact files, reports, booklets and even models. 34c examples are below. It is also worth reading what they think about each others work as children can be the most critical of all. Luckily in this case, the presentations were seen in a good light!!!! The children should be very proud of their achievements.

Brandon Lawther.jpg According to Jack, "Brandon's has got lots of facts and information" and Ryan agrees but he also "likes the pictures which match the information."
Callum Middleton.jpg Sam believes by reading Callum's project it told him "more about Pumas, how they leap up to 20ft!"
Jack's thoughtful observations show how much he has taken in as he chose Courtney's because it "has a poem, pictures and it tells you lots of information too."Courtney Cairns.jpg
