Science

We have continued investigating different materials and their properties in our Science lessons. The children enjoyed finding out which paper towel was the most absorbent!

We also enjoyed finding out how different objects' shapes could be changed by squashing, stretching, twisting and bending, and recorded our results in a table

Nick Carter

We had a special 'virtual' visit from the adventurer Nick Carter. He spoke to us about how we can all be tougher; to take on challenges that we have never done before or that make us feel uncomfortable. We then took part in a special class race involving different challenges to see how many laps we could complete in 10 minutes. We were all very tired at the end!!

Design Technology

In our D.T. lessons we have made moving picture Christmas cards. After looking at different examples of moving picture cards, we explored 3 different moving parts; a pivot, a slider and a concertina effect. We made simple mock-ups of each using a split pin for the pivot, a special craft knife to cut card for the slider, and exploring folds to create the concertina.

Making Christmas Cards

We then designed our cards thinking carefully about the picture and which part would move. Using our designs, our cards were made with fantastic results!!
