We’ve had such an amazing time on our school trip today! We’ve made fries and took them to the enchanted forest, searched for bears in the woods and made porridge for our Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Our teachers were really impressed with our listening ears and looking eyes to make sure we were being safe and working hard, and Sharon from Austerfield Study Centre said that she had loved having us for the day! We can’t wait until our next trip 🚌
Don’t forget to bring your pennies for Foundation Stage’s biscuit sale tomorrow! We’re raising money as part of our expedition for the charity ‘Changing Lives’. We’re hoping to be able to donate some teddy bears to the charity for children who might not have a teddy bear at home to snuggle 🧸
The sale will take place at the end of school tomorrow outside the front of school – we can’t wait to see you all!
Crew Godley mathematicians have been busy comparing numbers and exploring the language ‘greater than, less than and equals too’. We’ve used our crocodile 🐊 hands to help us.
We started the week researching different types of forces. We got hands on to demonstrate these to develop a deeper understanding before we are going to focus on these individually later on in the week.
We now can explain and demonstrate gravity, friction, water resistance and air resistance 🤩
Tuesday is our challenge crew and we had a tricky one this week.
It was called, Photo Finish. The aim? For the whole crew to cross a line together for a photo finish. We needed to focus on communication and coordination. Maybe you could try it over half term with your families for a unique family photo? Here’s how…
Here’s how we got on.
We really challenged ourselves in reading today. We used the text well to answer different comprehension questions and ensured we had a positive attitude throughout, even when we found questions a little hard. Great resilience MI 🙂
Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.
Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.
From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!
Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.
