Science Week 2015

Science week!

This week has been jam-packed with Science, investigations, discoveries and a Solar eclipse! 

The Rabbits joined Foundation for a trip to the Farm.  They had a wonderful time and saw some animals up close and personal.  Their animal adventures haven’t just stopped there, as part of Science week they have been learning about Jane Goodall, she is a chimpanzee expert and has been studying them for over 50 years, wow!




The Dragonflies have also been exploring famous Scientists. This half term we have been focusing on “Sound” so the Scientist the Dragonflies have been learning more about is Sir Alexander Graham Bell, he is famous for inventing the telephone.  The children found the development of the telephone fascinating, we can even play games on our mobile phones nowadays!










The Otters have been investigating Forces as part of their Science week activities, they have been having great fun exploring ways to push and pull! 



This morning all the children went out into the playground to experience the Solar eclipse.  The children all had a piece of card with a small hole in the middle.  You would expect that if the sun was shining through the hole, it would be round, however, the children saw an arc shape – the eclipse was happening right before their very eyes!  The children really enjoyed this special occasion.
