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. ![]()

A good year

Yesterday in Year 5’s science lesson the class was identifying what a year is. The children looked at the different planets which orbit the sun, the length of their years and how astronomers first worked out how many days were in a year. They were able to do this by using stars in the sky as markers and counting the number of sunsets it took for the star to return to its original position. Many years ago they even thought that it was the sun which orbited the Earth!
