Year 4 had an amazing school trip to the Natural History Museum. When we arrived, we went to the ‘Emergency! Earthquakes and volcanoes’ workshop. The scientists had gone missing so Year 4 heroically stepped in to save Volcano Town from certain doom. However, we also wrecked part of it to see how a seismometer works. Destruction in the name of science! We also experienced an earthquake, rode an escalator through the centre of the Earth, learned even more about the different types of volcanoes and actively learned using as many of the interactive displays as possible. ![]()

Room on the broom
Posted: 20th January 2020
The Reception children have been learning about the author Julia Donaldson. Room on the Broom is one of her many books, which tells a story about a witch who made a magic spell to make her broom fly. The children put on their science coats and goggles to make their own explosions using liquids and powders. They made predictions and discussed what they saw as the potions fizzed and bubbled. The children also made magic potions in the playground using natural objects as a stimulus to their creative writing, which involved lots of slimy and magical things.
