UKS2 investigated what would be the best material to use in order to adhere to blackout rules during the blitz. They used torches to test which materials were opaque, translucent and transparent

In Science, Year 4/3 have been learning that soil is made from rocks and organic matter. We collected soil samples from outside and carefully observed what was in each sample. We looked closely at the soil using a microscope, which helped us see tiny pieces of rock! #ScienceatWelbeck

Year 4K learned to recognise that soil is made up of rocks and organic matter. 🪨🍃 We collected our own samples and closely observed a variety of different soils to identify what they are made up of. #ScienceatWelbeck

More pictures from our LKS2 Stone Age Fire pit sessions. Pupils showed fantastic resilience, team work and perseverance to create their fires using ‘Fuel, Heat and Oxygen’ #50ThingsatWelbeck #PersonalDevelopmentatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck

To protect their families from predators and to cook their food, our Stone Age hunters have made their fire! Foraging for dry fuel and creating heat through friction embers and flint, they keep their group safe for the night! #50ThingsatWelbeck #PersonalDevelopmentatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck

Science club became bug explorers this week. We explored our forest garden and found lots of different bugs including spiders and beetles. We were very careful to put everything back as we found it. The children loved seeing the bugs close up! #ScienceatWelbeck 🪲🕷️

Science club took to the skies and created a range of paper planes using different designs. We tested our planes to see which would fly the furthest! The winds were against us but some still flew an impressive distance!💨 #ScienceatWelbeck

This week, Y3G have been learning all about the incredible Mary Anning! We explored fossils through art, sketching our own fossil drawings, and put our science skills to the test bu carefully excavating chocolate chips from cookies, just like palaeontologists! 🍪🦕 #ScienceatWelbeck #ArtatWelbeck

It's harvest time again and year 2 went to the allotment to see what we could find. Potatoes, garlic, onions, spinach and an ENORMOUS marrow! #ScienceatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck

To understand the role of Mary Anning, Year 4K became fossil hunters completing a chocolate chip cookie excavation to separate ‘fossils’ from ‘rock’! #ScienceatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Science club started today with some bridge making!🧑‍🔬🌁The children thought about which shapes would make their bridges stronger. We tested them with a car to see how much weight they could hold. They all did an amazing job! #ScienceatWelbeck

Year 4K kicked off their new science topic by comparing different rocks by observing them closely and carrying out a variety of tests! 👁️🔍🪙💧
We described their different properties and discussed suitable uses for each rock. #ScienceatWelbeck

In Year 4/3, we have been comparing the properties of different rocks. We carried out a range of tests, such as a scratch test and a water test, and described their similarities and differences #ScienceatWelbeck
