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. ![]()

Year 2 explore science and mental health
Posted: 22nd February 2021
Year 2 have been busy bees recently. They carried out a science experiment exploring the properties of materials to see which would make the best waterproof shoe cover. The material needed to be strong, flexible and waterproof. For children’s mental health week this year it was all about expressing yourself! When we find a way to happily and healthily express ourselves it enables us to look after our minds. Year 2 were given time to express themselves however they pleased. There was a wide range of activities including dancing, baking, painting, writing and singing their own songs.
