Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.
A high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. National Curriculum for Science, purpose of study

Full of Electricity
We recently had a great time in class exploring the wonders of the world of circuits. In groups of 3 or 4 pupils had to build different circuits containing components such as a buzzer, light bulb, switch and motor. Then they had to challenge themselves to build a...
Air Quality Project with Year 5
Year 5 have been working with Hester from R-Urban on an exciting air quality project. They have been learning lots of interesting facts about our local area and how the wind affects how polluted a particular spot is. They have also been learning about moss, and how...
Learning about Air Quality
Year 5 have been working with a local environmental organisation to learn about the air quality around Lansbury Lawrence. Did you know that air pollution is higher if it is not windy? Or if you are sheltering next to a wall on a windy day? Lichtenstein Class made...
