Class 8 – science experiment 3: air resistance
The children have made their own parachutes today and tested to see which design worked the best. They had discussions about gravity and air resistance and had lots of fun! You are fantastic scientists, well done!
Class 8- science experiment 2- gravity
Today we explored gravity. We watched a video that explained that gravity is a force that pulls things towards the centre of the Earth.
The children then took part in their own experiment where they were predicting which ball would fall to the floor the quickest. There were 3 balls of different sizes and weights and they worked in small groups to test their theories. We then added a feather into the equation and learnt about Galileo’s ball and feather theory.
To finish off the session , the children created their own straw rockets and we tested them to see how far they would fly until gravity pulled them towards the Earth.
Another fabulous scientific day…we certainly have some budding scientists in class 8!
Reading Books Tomorrow (Thursday 13th)
This is a reminder that all children need to return their reading books to school tomorrow as Friday is a training day. Please help us by ensuring all children bring their books each week – even if they have not been read yet.
Unfortunately we are unable to allow children to keep Shared Reading books for an extra week. This is because all books need to be collected in as a set and returned to the reading room for the next group of children to use. If the book is not in school on book changing day this will prompt an email reminder from your child’s class teacher or phonics teacher.
If the book has not been returned by the following book changing day a fine of £3.50 per missing book will be added to your Parent Pay account on this day.
Thank You,
KS1 Team
class 8 – out of school achievements
A huge well done to these 3 superstars who have all been working hard at their after school clubs. We have a yellow and purple belt now at martial arts club! We also have Martha who is working her way through her levels at gymnastics!
I love to hear about these achievements and I am so proud of you all…well done!
Class 8 Presentation of learning
All grown ups of children in class 8 are invited to join us in our classroom for our presentation of learning on Thursday 27th March at 9am. We will be preparing a meal for our grown ups to eat with us. We hope you can come and join us!

Class 8 science experiment 1: forces
The children learnt today about different forces and how they are a push or a pull. They then had the opportunity to work in teams to test the theory out with air (inside a balloon) pushing on air outside of the balloon to see what would happen. There was lots of fun and laughter but also lots of great learning! Super work class 8, hope you enjoyed our first experiment of science week!

Please also remember to practise reading your red words and reading your reading books.
Green Top Science Week
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!
