Brompton-Westbrook Science

Thanks again to Lucy and the team @StAndrewsKent for all of the hard work you put in to making this a fantastic day for our children!

UKS2 loved building their den today at lunchtime! #playtimerevolution

After reading 'Percy's Bumpy Ride' the children created their own 'flying machines' using a variety of construction resources and junk modelling. There has been so much creativity and mark making!

Well done to the 2 Year 5 teams from BW who took part in the inter-school STEM competition at St Andrew’s School in Rochester. Our teams came first and second overall for their excellent designs and construction of vehicles and marble runs. Well done both teams! @BWPrimary

Year 4 children are enjoying their outdoor science learning about food chains linking to our pond. They are using real life experiences to understand how living things depend on each other while rehearsing scientific vocabulary and asking questions @BWPrimary

Children in Year 4 used a range of materials to create their own representations of the human digestive system @BWPrimary

The Year 5 team had fun applying their knowledge of forces and structures at the @REMuseum for the annual bridge building competition @BWPrimary

Year 4 children enjoyed planning their investigations into factors that affect tooth decay, creating their own questions using @pstt_whyhow planning boards to support their enquiries @BWPrimary

Playground science today ! Measuring heart rate ❤️

Another great ‘Science on the Playground’ session led by the Year 5 and 6 Science Ambassadors. This week children were encouraged to investigate their own questions linked to balls, applying their learning about forces including gravity @BWPrimary

The children in nursery have been learning the story The Three Little pigs.They have been exploring materials to build their own houses from straw, sticks and bricks to discover which is the strongest. The children chose to use sponges and brushes to paint their own pigs pictures

Year 4 had a fabulous day at the RE museum today - thank you so much @REMuseum

Tree planting, sawing and beginning to build a new bug hotel in outdoor learning this week🪲🐛🕷️🪳🦟🦗🐜🐞

Nursery children have been making Gingerbread Men with a kind parent. There has been lots of mixing, rolling and cutting. The children used their senses to describe the mixture as 'sticky' and 'smells spicy'.

Making butternut squash and pumpkin soup using school grown vegetables 😋 they chopped and peeled, cooked and blended- even saved the seeds to grow more pumpkins next year 🎃 🧡

Year 4 are carrying out fair tests exploring factors that affect how quickly chocolate melts. Variables they are considering include: the size, brand, type and packaging of chocolate @BWPrimary

Oooh look! We’re in the ‘big’ Tesco!

Collaborative work to create a bug house in Forest school 🪲🐛 🐝

Year 3 pupils helping to rake the old meadow, scatter seeds and sympathetically distribute the grass around the school perimeter- fingers crossed our meadow will be full of wildflowers next year 🍀🌾🌼

This week, Year 6 children have been investigating how the shape of a shadow is the same as the object that casts it, as part of their unit: Light @BWPrimary @CLEAPSS_Primary
