The children had so much fun seeing these animals in real life, and really enjoyed their day We also had a class session with one of the experts where we discussed habitats ...

We have researched, investigated, explored and used our mathematical data handling skills to understand how the planets relate to their space in the solar system. We look forward to sharing some of this learning with parents in our Paren...
In year three, we've had an exciting start to our summer term as scientists investigating plants! So far, we have dissected flowers to observe the parts of a plant, made our own booklets based on what we found out, planted sunflowers to investigate what plants need to grow and finally, we made some...
Last week Y4 started our new science topic for the term asking 'What do you know about life on Earth?'. We discussed what we already knew about the Earth, these Hucklow Scientists already know lots of interesting facts! We learnt about food chains, naming each animal in it and what their job is. Why not ask a Y4 what a producer ...
This week we planted fruit trees to enhance our new outdoor area. We have two apple and a pear. We look forward to watching these saplings grow into healthy trees and cannot wait to harvest their fruits! We will keep you updated with their progress! A huge thank you to Sheffield Fruit Trees for donating these.
At Hucklow we teach our science and DT through planned STEM weeks. We have 5 STEM weeks throughout the year. STEM stands for sciences, technologies, engineering and mathematics. As well as developing skills and knowledge in each individual subject, STEM related learning develops children's ability to work across disciplines...
Jack has been on a tree hunt! He spotted this beautiful tree and has conducted some research on it. This links with all the learning we have been doing about living things. We love how you have presented your facts, Jack! Super remote learning.
Today in school the Y4 bubble have been starting a science experiment on tooth decay. We put eggs in different liquids to see what will happen to them over the next few days. Lots of super start scientists and we cant wait to see what happens!
Hello again Year 5! We hope you are finding your learning fun and exciting - just a reminder that this homework menu was sent out before Christmas as a taster of our Space topic for the Spring Term. If any of you have created anything then please email us images and we will publish them on the blog to showcase your amazing learning. There are lots ...
This week, the Y4s have had lots of fun learning about electricity. They conducted an experiment, and questioned what was needed to make a bulb light up. They were given different circuit plans to set up. They had to predict if they would work, and then try them out.
