British Science Week - celebrated across the whole school with workshops by Hands-on-Science, tailored to link into current topics. Woodpeckers learnt about Sustainability with Reduce, Reuse, Recycle -ask them what they learnt!
Science - using secondary sources to research the process of fossilisation
Suckley Hills Field Trip - combining science and geography in our local area. The children loved investigating the hillside for limestone which holds a valuable key to the past of the area - shell fossils. We learnt that 440 millions years ago, during the Silurian time period, the Suckley area was submerged under a sea, called the silurian sea! when Britain was located aboue where present-day Australia sits!
Literacy supporting Science - cross curricula learning - our new book The Pebble in my pocket. The children acted out the first scence in the book to help deepend their understanding of the story start...

Stone Age Estate Agents- how persuasive can we be?
As historians, designing our own Neolithic farms. Ask the children what key things they needed to include!

Working as scientists - designing investigations to test the requirements a plant needs for life and growth
Using dictionaries to support our knowledge in English
As archaeologists- we used artefacts to find out about how people lived during the Stone Age
Practical maths- using manipulatives to support division
New Science topic - PLANTS - Woodpeckers harness their research skills to use secondary sources of information to learn about what the parts of a plant do.
