Jerry Clay Academy Science

Year 6 have enjoyed investigating the components that make up our blood and the different functions they have. #circulatorysystem #workingscientifically ⁦@JCA_Science⁩

We love investigating! In Science, Year 3 took part in a rock experiment where they found out about properties of different rocks. They looked at permeability, texture and density. #investigation @JCA_Science 🧪🥼

Our core text: "Whatever Next" has really inspired Reception this week! This week's supermoon and the blood moon last month, as well as all of the planets, are particularly fascinating us! @JCAEYFS #understandingtheworld #creatingwithmaterials

Year 5 have carried out an investigation to study thermal conductors and thermal insulators. We wanted to understand what cups would keep our drinks the hottest for the longest. @JCA_Science

A great Science lesson in Year 2 exploring microhabitats around our school! We were able to describe different microhabitats and how mini beasts survive there ⁦@JCA_Science⁩ #microhabitats #minibeasts

In science, year 1 have been learning to compare objects with different materials and physical properties. Today, we went on an exciting outdoor adventure to hunt for magnetic objects @JCA_Science

Year 3 have enjoyed finding out about properties of rocks in Science. We completed an experiment where we checked the density, permeability and durability of each rock. @JCA_Science

Year 3 have enjoyed outdoor learning this morning. We hunted around the field for geodes, we cracked them open to find crystals inside. Then, we added precious stones to clay. #geode @JCA_Science

In Science, Year 2 observed micro habitats in our outdoor areas and recorded what living things they found there! Some fantastic investigating! ⁦@JCA_Science⁩ #microhabitats #minibeasts

Year 1 were science detectives yesterday, exploring and hunting for different properties of materials. @JCA_Science

Year 2 explored food chains today in Science. For each food chain we identified the producers and consumers and then sorted these into the correct order on our sheets ⁦@JCA_Science⁩ #foodchain #JCAScience

Yr 2 had an incredible trip @YorkshireWater today! A fantastic, real life learning opportunity to start our theme of 'What's the weather'. A huge thank you to Vicki & Emma at Yorkshire Water & our amazing volunteers for supporting our trip too! @JCA_Geography @JCA_Science

A simple enhancement to the construction area ensured such engagement and sustained play following children’s interests in lifecycles and habitats #EYFS

Year 5 researched to find out more about the different planets in our Solar System. They then created brilliant presentations and presented them to the class. 🌌 @JCA_Science

Year 1 had a fabulous day today at @YorkshireWP We had a super workshop and saw lots of animals ~ do you like our meerkat poses? @JCA_Science #Jcacurriculum

In Science, Year 6 have been learning about how shadows are formed and how they can change when the light source is closer or further away. We have also been learning about and experimenting with refraction. #JCAScience

A great end to gardening club! We planted four different types of seeds and look forward to watching these grow over the next few months 🌱 #gardening #planting

The children were fascinated to learn about fish anatomy. They discussed what they would see inside the fish and asked lots of interesting questions. Lovely to see such sparkle and enthusiasm #EYFS #scientific #language

Great concentration in Year 3 for @JCA_Science! We conducted an experiment using paper clips to investigate the strength of different magnets 🧲 #magneticfield

Year 4 have enjoyed learning about different invertebrates this week. We have gone an invertebrate hunt around the school playground and found many different animal groups including molluscs, crustaceans and even annelids 🪱🕷️🐌@JCA_Science
