Over the last 3 weeks we have been investigating friction. We started by looking at how far toy cars moved on different surfaces. We looked for similarities and differences between the surfaces. We found that rough bumpy surfaces had more friction than smooth shiny ones. We used what we found to create our own surface to try and slow down a ball.

This week, we tested our surfaces to see which slowed the ball down quickest. We predicted which surface would be the best, created a results table and then found the average distance.

A huge shout out to this weeks HOWL point winners and Crew champions! Keep up the great work – we’re all very proud!

A huge well done to these children in Year 5/6 who have impressed their crew leaders with their reading so far this year. I hope you all enjoy reading your new book!!

Keep up the great work!

Over the last two weeks we have developed our use of the chalk pastels and produced some more wonderful expedition linked artwork. I am so impressed with our brilliant snake pictures! x
