Themed Week – “HOW Does It Work?”

Exploring science and technology - asking "How does it work?"

Thank you to all our families who visited our HOW week Exhibition Evening last week. It was such a fitting celebration of another fantastic themed week. A wealth of experiences have been enjoyed this week which has truly enriched the children’s learning.  During this week we have:

  • Built 3D structures which are taller than we are and understood how we can work together to achieve
  • Using Virtual Reality technology, understood how light works and its relationship with different types of habitats.
  • Coded Lego vehicles
  • Used the latest CAD software to bring a design idea to life
  • Built our own vehicles using a range of materials and powered them in different ways
  • Understood how fireworks work and designed our own
  • Made ice cream using salt in a brilliant chemistry workshop   
  • Visited organisations in London who helped us understand some future careers
  • Explored how the brain works and its relationship with our movement, thoughts, feelings, senses and memory. 
  • Built clocks, of various sorts, and taken part in an eTwinning project with a school in Germany
  • Conducted surveys
  • Got to grips with water, how it reaches our homes and how it falls from the sky.
  • Explored forces like friction and gravity in really practical ways
  • Presented interactive science experiments to younger learners
