As part of their history unit on 'Famous Queen' Year 2 were excited to use watercolours to create beautiful, regal looking crowns. They explored precious metals, gemstones and colour.
Year 5 have been exploring how different substances interact with water by testing whether they are soluble or insoluble. The children mixed sugar, salt, and bicarbonate of soda with water, carefully recording their observations. To take their investigation further, they placed a beaker of each mixture near a radiator to see if evaporation would allow them to recover the original substance. Will it work? We’ll have to wait and see!

Preschool Ash have been exploring the topic of ‘Freezing and Melting’ this week as part of our discussions about changes in the weather. The children carried out their own experiment by leaving water outside overnight to see if it would freeze in the cold temperatures.
They were very excited to discover that the water had frozen by the next day and talked about how we could make it melt again by using warm water. Preschool Ash also enjoyed a range of fun freezing and melting activities, including painting with ice and cutting and sorting objects into whether they would melt or not.

This week, Year 5 explored squared and cubed numbers in a hands-on way! The children used multi-link cubes to physically build squares and cubes, helping them see how numbers grow in two and three dimensions.
From creating neat 4×4 squares to stacking cubes into 3D shapes, they discovered that:
✅ Squared numbers make a flat shape
✅ Cubed numbers build a solid structure
It was fantastic to watch their understanding deepen as they connected abstract concepts to real-world models!
