To apply our knowledge of air resistance, the children in year 5 investigated different parachute designs. Some big, some small and some unusually shaped. To make it a fair test, we tested each one 3 times and took note of the length of time in which it took to reach the ground. Our results showed us that the larger the surface area of the parachute, the more air resistance affected (slowed) the rate at which it fell.
Year 3: A Great First Week in Key Stage 2Our Year 3 pupils clearly enjoyed their first week in Key Stage 2. In Literacy, the children recapped punctuation, word types and were introduced to the increased expectations in writing. In Maths, they learnt about about pla… Read More
Science Week BeginsScience Week began with a bang as 'Mad Science' led the school assembly; creating fireballs, squeezing eggs through tight spaces and building excitement amongst all of our pupils. The children then had the opportunity to work… Read More
Year 3: FrictionFriction is a force that slows things down. More friction is created when a surface is very rough and bumpy. Objects travel fast across smooth surfaces because there is less friction. Year 3 decided to investigate whether a c… Read More
Year 4 Visit the Natural History MuseumYear 4 visited the Natural History Museum to learn about the human body, mammals of the world and their habitats. In preparation for their science topic about the reproductive system, Year 4 explored an amazing interactive ex… Read More
Science ClubIn science club, for our first experiment we came up with theories to explain the answer to the question ‘will an egg float?’. As you’ve probably guessed, it doesn’t. As a result of this, we were assigned the job of creating … Read More
