  • Science Afternoon

    Science Afternoon

    Another science afternoon was enjoyed by all this term from nursery to year 6. Children had an extra opportunity dedicated to taking part in practical science where they honed their science knowledge, methods and working scientifically skills. This year, there were a variety of activities relating to properties of materials, space, electrical circuits and teeth and the classrooms were brought to life in a hive of industrious activity. What’s more, the children were delighted to be able to share these experiences with their parents and carers.

  • Hatching of Chicks

    The wonder of life…

    For several years now, we have enjoyed the wonder of watching the live hatching of chicks. Children observed the miracle of them pecking and struggling their way out, then recovering in the incubator before rapidly developing into lively, fluffy chicks that were soon able to feed and drink for themselves. The process enriched and brought the children’s science learning of animal topics to life, where they learnt about the care of animals, growth, life cycles, diets, food chains and habitats.

    Zoolab brought our animal science topics to life again this year when they brought a range of exotic animals to Curwen to enrich the curriculum. They led hands on discussions based around classification with year 4 and evolution with y6. The science MASt children in Y1, 2 and 3 also had a bonus session about senses to encourage their innate scientific curiosity.
