Kingfishers Tower Building

Kingfishers rose to the challenge once again this week. They continue to develop their group cooperation and communication skills whilst applying all our core values!!They built on the knowledge they acquired from the bridge building last week by building a tower which had to hold a can of food for 60 seconds! Their aim was also to make the tower as tall as they could.Whilst there was one tower taller than the others, all groups were successful in beating the 60 seconds – as you can see!

Perhaps they could now add to their towers to make them taller…

Just in case you think our scientists are always successful the first time! This group didn’t let it disappoint them though; they were able to offer many suggestions as to why their tower had not worked and what they would do differently. 

Kingfishers Raft Building

As scientists, we have been exploring materials and their properties. We have been abandoned on an island and need to get off!

We have designed, built and tested rafts. We found that we had to observe what was happening and then improve our designs. 

We had to persevere as it was not easy!!

Kingfishers Materials

In Kingfishers the children have been learning about materials and their properties. Today they investigated how by folding and bending paper you could change the properties to suit the purpose.

Their challenge was to make a bridge at least 30cm long that would hold the weight of a car.

Fantastic teamwork and great results!!

Bitterns Science

During lockdown the children have been busy learning all about the weather. They have looked at different types of weather, created their own rain and wind gauges as well as observing the daily weather patterns. The children even transformed themselves into weather reporters.
