In Science this week, as part of our topic on solids, liquids and gases, year 4 have been creating their own investigations to test which chocolate melts the quickest - milk, dark or white!

We focused on how to create a fair test!

The Reception class enjoyed looking at a collection of old toys from the Shrewsbury museum service today. The children investigated what the toys were made from and how they were played with. We then created a timeline to show how toys have changed over the years.

Year 3 have loved creating our own vehicles in DT this week. We learnt all about axles and how this mechanism allows the vehicle to move.

In DT Year 3 have been learning about different mechanisms. We explored how sliders, linkages and leavers work.

Year 3 have been learning about the structure of the Earth and all it's different layers. We learnt each layers name and which is the thickest and hottest. We made a model of Earth using playdough!
