We’ve had a busy week this week practising for SATs so we spent the afternoon investigating sound by making ‘sound enhancers’ and investigating pitch using elastic bands! #ScienceWeek #OgdenTrust

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!
Crew Ambler – Sound
As part of science week we have been investigating sound. Today we have taken part in an investigation creating our own guitar to investigate the different pitch we can make using different sized rubber bands #ScienceWeek #OgdenTrust
Extended Study – Science Week – Lunar Eclipse

The partial lunar eclipse in the UK will be visible – weather permitting – during the early hours of 14 March from 3:57 GMT before peaking at 6:19. The best chance of seeing it is by having a clear view of the western horizon.
We would love to see any pictures you manage to capture!

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!
Sponsored Read update!
Wow!! Thank you all so much for your amazing efforts in our sponsored read event! Our total currently stands at a great £367.50!! This will go a long way in helping us to stock our library!
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 9 | Class Reading
This afternoon, we have been treated to some lovely reading from Arnie, George, Eden and William. Great reading lads!
Class 9 | Shadows!
This week, we have been investigating how distance can affect the size of a shadow. We measured the length of the shadow as the light source moved further away before plotting it onto a bar chart.
