Classification keys

In science we have been revising how animals are classified and how they can be grouped and sorted using classification keys.  We did this using haribos to begin with, working in groups before doing our own keys to classify living things.

CSI - Chromatography

Kestrels recently had a great afternoon investigating chromatography to discover which teacher wrote a note that had been found by Mrs Gudde. Here are a few images showing how the ink separated when we put the filter paper in water. 

VE Day Party

Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 completed their topic on World War 2 with a VE Day Party! They dressed in 1940s outfits for the occasion and helped to prepare food and decorations for the event, before enjoying eating and dancing at the party, set out like a street party, but in the classrooms at this time of year...

Dissolving Science Investigation

Kestrels have had a great afternoon carrying out a dissolving investigation, learning about materials that are soluble and insoluble and about solutions.

Dictionaries presented by our local Rotary Club

Mrs Burroughes visited school on Monday 4th November, to present dictionaries to our Year 5 children, on behalf of the Rotary Club. The children were very happy to have them and it was lovely that Mrs Burroughes could share some memories of her children and grandchildren attending Bressingham School. We are very grateful to Mrs Burroughes and Rotary Club for these gifts.

Electricity Science Investigation

Kestrel class have had a great afternoon investigating electricity using electrical circuits. We investigated how the brightness of a light bulb changes when you add more light bulbs linking it to voltage and current.

Bikeability

This year all of Kestrel class have had the opportunity to take part in Bikeability training.  Kestrels have been able to complete stages 1 and 2 of the training, cycling on the school playground in between cones (or hedgehogs) and through funnels, and learning how to signal as well as being out on the road. Everyone has had a great time learning to ride their bikes safely.
