Year 4K rounded out the term with an exciting trip to Brewhouse Yard and Nottingham Castle. We took part in some nature surveys, and closely observed and identified a variety of living creatures. ☘️🐞🕷️We had a fantastic time! #ScienceatWelbeck

Y3G collected soil samples and had a closer look at what was living in the soil as part of their science experiment. We found a worm and discussed how worms are part of organic matter found in soil!🪱 #ScienceatWelbeck #WorkingScientifically

UKS2 investigated what would be the best material to use in order to adhere to blackout rules during the blitz. They used torches to test which materials were opaque, translucent and transparent

In Science, Year 4/3 have been learning that soil is made from rocks and organic matter. We collected soil samples from outside and carefully observed what was in each sample. We looked closely at the soil using a microscope, which helped us see tiny pieces of rock! #ScienceatWelbeck

Year 4K learned to recognise that soil is made up of rocks and organic matter. 🪨🍃 We collected our own samples and closely observed a variety of different soils to identify what they are made up of. #ScienceatWelbeck

More pictures from our LKS2 Stone Age Fire pit sessions. Pupils showed fantastic resilience, team work and perseverance to create their fires using ‘Fuel, Heat and Oxygen’ #50ThingsatWelbeck #PersonalDevelopmentatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck

To protect their families from predators and to cook their food, our Stone Age hunters have made their fire! Foraging for dry fuel and creating heat through friction embers and flint, they keep their group safe for the night! #50ThingsatWelbeck #PersonalDevelopmentatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck

Science club became bug explorers this week. We explored our forest garden and found lots of different bugs including spiders and beetles. We were very careful to put everything back as we found it. The children loved seeing the bugs close up! #ScienceatWelbeck 🪲🕷️

Science club took to the skies and created a range of paper planes using different designs. We tested our planes to see which would fly the furthest! The winds were against us but some still flew an impressive distance!💨 #ScienceatWelbeck

This week, Y3G have been learning all about the incredible Mary Anning! We explored fossils through art, sketching our own fossil drawings, and put our science skills to the test bu carefully excavating chocolate chips from cookies, just like palaeontologists! 🍪🦕 #ScienceatWelbeck #ArtatWelbeck

It's harvest time again and year 2 went to the allotment to see what we could find. Potatoes, garlic, onions, spinach and an ENORMOUS marrow! #ScienceatWelbeck #DTatWelbeck

To understand the role of Mary Anning, Year 4K became fossil hunters completing a chocolate chip cookie excavation to separate ‘fossils’ from ‘rock’! #ScienceatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Science club started today with some bridge making!🧑‍🔬🌁The children thought about which shapes would make their bridges stronger. We tested them with a car to see how much weight they could hold. They all did an amazing job! #ScienceatWelbeck

Year 4K kicked off their new science topic by comparing different rocks by observing them closely and carrying out a variety of tests! 👁️🔍🪙💧
We described their different properties and discussed suitable uses for each rock. #ScienceatWelbeck
September 8, 2026 at 4:36 PM
In Year 4/3, we have been comparing the properties of different rocks. We carried out a range of tests, such as a scratch test and a water test, and described their similarities and differences #ScienceatWelbeck

To find out how plants reproduce, Year 6/5 dissected flowers to identify the different parts and label them 🌺
#ScienceatWelbeck

Learning about how plants reproduce, Year 6/5 went on a seed hunt to discover the huge variety of seeds in our school grounds.
We also discovered some other things on our travels too including insects and a recently hatched egg 🪺

We then made posters to show how we can look after our teeth, including brushing twice a day, flossing and visiting the dentist regularly. 🦷🪥 #ScienceatWelbeck #PSHEatWelbeck

Year 3 have started to investigate what different drinks do to our teeth by submerging eggs in various liquids. 🥚🥤🥛We talked about how the white shell represents the enamel on our teeth. We made our predictions and will check back in at the end of the week! #ScienceatWelbeck

In Science, Year 2K have been making a wormery. We described what healthy soil looks like and explained why it is important for plants, minibeasts and the environment #ScienceatWelbeck
July 8, 2026 at 2:45 PM
Year 4/3 have been learning about teeth hygiene. They made posters to display in a dentist informing people how to look after their teeth. #ScienceatWelbeck

Our Y5s enjoyed a visit to Iremongers Pond, exploring and observing living organisms, and comparing the differences visible in the habitat between now (summer) and their previous visit (last winter). #ScienceatWelbeck

Year 4/3 learned about the different types of human teeth and their functions. We investigated which teeth we use to eat a variety of different foods. #ScienceatWelbeck

Y1R have started making their own wormary! First we collected the rocks for the foundation and then found some soil and items for the worms to decompose!

We are so excited to find some worms! 🪱
