ScientistsThis year we have become scientists. RitajScientists conduct experiments to find out information. VanesaThey publish their results in scientific reports. RitajWe have carried out experiments and published our results. VanesaWe have conducted fair tests. Do you know how many things have to change for a test to be fair? Ritaj

Scientist HonzaAdult birds build nests to hold the eggs of their babies. They build it using twigs, moss, hair and old feathers. They skilfully weave the pieces together with their beaks and line the nest with mud. Did you know, the cuckoo doesnt build a nest of its own it steals the nests of other birds and sometimes will push the other birds eggs out of the nest?Scientist EllieA few weeks ago we went for a walk along the River Thames to learn about our local environment.Scientist RebeccaDuring our walk we spotted many different birds, animals, insects and plants. We were really lucky to see goslings and ducklings taking their first swim.Ducklings

Scientist ErinMrs Wheeler let us spend some time in the park. While we were there we investigated which forces were needed to make the playground equipment move.Push and Pull

Scientist Ny AnnekaWe discovered that we needed to use a push and pull force to make the swing move. We also found out that putting our feet on the ground caused friction and slowed us down.Forces in action!

Scientist RitajWe have been learning about how plants and animals reproduce. We know that mammal babies grow in their mummys body in a special place called a womb.

Scientist OliwerBaby birds grow in an egg with a hard, protective shell until they are ready to peck their way out. Unlike mammal babies, who drink milk from their mummy, chicks eat the same food as their mummy straight away.

Scientist VanesaIt is not just birds that grow in eggs. Lots of reptiles, like snakes and crocodiles do as well. Did you know that frog babies grow in a jelly-like liquid called frog spawn?

Scientist Jenson

Many mammal babies are able to walk very soon after they are born but human babies take about a year.

Scientist TylerSome plants grow from seeds. You need light, water and a cosy bed like soil for the seed to grow into a healthy plant.

Scientist RehmanWe have carried out an experiment to see what will happen to the growth of a bean plant if any of those things are missing.

Scientist NikodemWe put a paper towel into the cup, put in the seed and added water. Then we put it onto the window sill.Scientist ShiwaniOne didnt have water, one didnt have light and one was missing a nice cosy bed. The one without any water hasnt changed at all. The others have started to grow but the one in the cupboard is the slowest and does not have a root or a shoot. Mine is starting to grow too.

Scientist AlexWe have all planted beans. We have been checking every day to see what has happened. We have to remember to water them!

We have read Jack and the Beanstalk and drawn pictures of the giant.ScientistJack and the Baked Bean Stalk
