Funky Friday Craft – year 3/4
Today we have put our hands to making Halloween moon silhouettes! Using a golden paper plate and black paper! Here’s what they have managed to produce this week.
Year 5/6 Science Club – Friction
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.
Crew Barnett – Reading Week
We have had a busy week for reading week. On Monday, we watched an online Q&A with the author of How to Train your Dragon, Cressida Cowell. Then, we walked to the library in the afternoon.
On Wednesday, we linked reading to looking at Black History Month. We looked at the stories of some inspirational black women using the little people big dreams books.
We have also been working really hard in accelerated reader this week to try and improve our crew average. We have managed to improve our minutes by 4 this week.
Year 5/6 Crew Champions and HoWL point winners!

Crew Knowles: Black History Month
This morning in crew, we looked at the story ‘Coming to England’ as we are learning more about The Windrush Generation. Coming to England is a true story of a person called Floella Benjamin. The children were really engaged in thinking about how people might have felt, and what they might be thinking as they came to England for the first time on the Empire Windrush.
Why not listen to the story for yourself here?
