Science - Living things and their habitats.
In science this September half term, we will be exploring how living things are scientifically sorted/classified into broad groups.
Thinking like a scientist....You have found a plant that you don’t recognise. What could you do to try to name it? Are trees plants? How can you tell? What about a Venus fly trap: is it animal or a plant? What features tell you? What makes it unusual??
To enhance our learning in science we have an exciting whole-day visit planned to Magna Science Adventure Centre. On Tuesday 14th September 2021. Throughout the year we will be tapping into various parts of the day and building on this in class. Science really can be fun!
Pay Pal has been set up- £13 per child (which includes travel, admission and specialist workshops)
