We had a superb visit to Magna this week!
Today, we carried on our learning from science week and enjoyed a special visit by Eli’s dad (a.k.a. Mr Chalk). Mr Chalk is an associate nurse and he shared not only a fascinating insight into his role but also lots of examples of how biology (and even maths!) helps him to look after the patients in his care. Of course, the children had lots of questions to ask but they were also fantastic at Mr Chalk’s ‘guess the broken bone’ quiz – well done boys and girls!
A big thank you to Eli from Class 10 for lending us his dad for the afternoon, and an even bigger thank you to Mr Chalk for his engaging and informative presentation!
We had so much fun last week investigating all sorts of forces. We participated in lots of different experiments including air resistance, floating and sinking and gravity. We made parachutes and air powered rockets and tested out how much cargo our tin foil boats would carry. The children asked lots of ‘what if’ questions and we had held very scientific evaluations of the products we made.
I am very proud of you all Class 6!

Today, Class 7 tested friction of different objects and also the friction of cars on different surfaces.

Class 7 have completed an experiment where they tested what objects would float or sink!

Class 5 have been enjoying learning about Forces. We have learned about pushes and pulls and how they effect objects. We did some fun experiments to help us to discover how forces work. We even had fun seeing what happens when an object has the same amount of force coming from two different directions. I wonder if the children can explain their learning at home?
Class 7 had another exciting experiment where we tested air resistance. During it, we dropped our parachutes from a height to test their effectiveness!

Today, Class 7 made their own straw rockets, but first tested the effects of gravity!

Today, as part of our first day of Science Week, we have been learning about forces! We used balloons as a first test of forces!

We are very excited that we have had 10 eggs delivered today in reception. We are hopeful that these eggs will hatch and then we will have some chicks in our classroom by the end of the week.
We will keep you posted on the progress of this and what we find out this week.
