Computing

21/1/2022

 
​Today in Year 4 we practiced typing. We are trying really hard to master 'touch typing'. This is when you type without looking at the keyboard. We used the 'bumps' on the f and k key to help us!

​How fast can you type without looking?

Science - Electricity

14/1/2022

 
In Year 4 we've been exploring using electricity. This week we conducted our own investigation. Our hypothesis was: Will adding an extra battery increase the brightness of the bulbs? We then had to explain what happened and label our circuits, making note of our independent and dependent variables.

Mini Marathon

24/11/2021

 
Caption - This term the children have taken part in the nation wide sporting event - 'The Mini Marathon'

Using our daily mile track on the playground each child completed 2.6 miles over a couple of sessions during the last week of half term. 
​

Well done William Davis!

Science

23/6/2021

 
In Science Year 3 have been learning about the human body and the function of the skeleton. 

​ The children enjoyed naming the different bones and making their own giant skeleton.

Science

29/4/2021

 
In science year 3 have been learning about different types of rocks.  

We have been 'geologists' and have been sorting rocks into different groups. 
​

We have also investigated the amount of calcium carbonate in the rocks by doing the 'acid test' and observing how the rocks reacted.  We were amazed with the results, chalk and limestone started to fizz!  ​

RE

19/4/2021

 
In RE, year 3 have been learning about different festivals.  

This week they have been learning about Holy Week and how Christians celebrate Easter. 

​The children enjoyed making the Easter baskets!

Science

24/11/2020

 
The new science unit in year 3 is Light and Dark.  

The children have learnt how shadows are created when light is blocked by objects.  They created their own shadow puppets and investigated using different materials (opaque, translucent and transparent) to find which materials helped create the darkest shadows.

​

Science

2/10/2020

 
The science unit in Year 3 is 'Parts of Plants'.  The children have been finding out about the life cycle of a plant and the function of the different parts of the plant.

The children have been observing and comparing roots in different plants.
Through various experiments the children have been investigating how water is transported within plants.
They have enjoyed sorting leaves and doing leaf rubbings whilst finding out how leaves use the energy from the sun to make their own food.

This week we have been examining the role of flowers, in pairs the children dissected lilies to help them identify the different parts found inside a flower and how these help with pollination.​

Enjoy looking at our pictures!

Home learning - Zacharia

18/5/2020

 
Zacharia made a very impressive diorama of an ocean habitat. Which animals do you think might live in this habitat?

He also took the time to do an art lesson with author and illustrator Rob Biddulph and the results are fantastic. You can too if you visit http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob

Well done Zacharia!

World Book Day

5/3/2020

 
Today we celebrated World Book Day at William Davis.

The theme this year is to 'Share a Million Stories'.

In Year 2, we thought we'd do our part by reading a story to each other.

Look at our wonderful story sharing!
