Our Senses Y1 & 2

Each pot contains something which smells: garlic, washing up liquid, coffee granules, vinegar etc.

The little felt bags contain spices: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves etc. Each child had one little bag to sniff and then had to use their sense of smell to find out who had the matching partner.

Parts of a Plant

Growing Y1

The class learnt a lot about growing and plants and this linked to fruit and vegetables that they tasted and painted. The children labelled plant parts.They also grew bean plants under different conditions to investigate the results.

Bees in the Environment Y2/3

After a visit from a local bee keeper the children made this display themselves showing the links between bees, people and plants.

Environmental studies Y3

Spring Display

Keeping Healthy Y4/5

Title and food has been laminated so that it can be 
used again.

Teeth & Eating Y3

A 3D pyramid showing the different food groups with pictures of the food. Either side of the pyramid: one side is a large diagram of the structure of a tooth. Definition cards of carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. On the other side are pictures of the different types of teeth and their names/functions.

House/Home Y1

We built up a city scape using images of different materials that the children cut out from interior design magazines.

Materials Y1/2

We were learning about properties of materials. My T.A. thought of this idea and the children looked at the picture and added the words to describe the materials.

Materials Y3

I just tried to find objects that were made from different materials to encourage the children to think about why things are made from certain materials.  I tried to find some objects made from just one material, some from 2 (the glasses are a good example!) and some objects that could be made from 2 materials - e.g a wooden peg and a plastic peg.

Keeping Warm Y4

Laminated to keep, used child's old coat for arms stuffed with paper for 3D effect..

Rocks Y3/4

We looked at sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The children experimented with chalk, pencil and pastels to draw the different types of rocks, highlighting the features of each.

Circuits and Conductors Y4

Display from very little space - children brought in games from home that had an electrical circuit in order for them to be played properly (Operation, Dr Who, Hot Wires etc).  When circuits were made - children displayed a selection of them at the back and write on white board when they have ideas about how to check a circuit etc.  Science books added - available for children to access.

Y6 Revision

Projected images onto whiteboard - cut around in coloured card - hey presto!

Planets

Blue background, comet weaving along background. Planets made on large scale.

Earth, Sun and Moon Y5

Shows the layout of the three, with simple facts that
the children have learnt.
