Science, Geography & Computing in Dolphins

In Dolphins class we have had a busy start to the summer term and have been working hard in all of our lessons! 

In Science, we are learning about electricity. We have had lots of fun investigating and creating electrical circuits. This week we have been finding out more about insulators (materials which do not let electricity flow through) and conductors (materials which do allow electricity to flow through). To do this, we tested different objects to see if they completed our circuit or not. We discovered that all of the metal objects were conductors. 

We have been finding out about rivers as part of our geography topic for this term. Practising our map skills, we have been locating rivers and identifying the features of a river. We have also started to look at the different ways in which we use water such as for agriculture and for recreation. 

In computing, we have been learning about photo editing. We have learnt about cropping, rotating and flipping. We then put our knowledge to the test by editing a range of photos on the chrome books.
