We had a fantastic morning at the new Thorne Memorial park on Friday. We were very proud to be the first school children to be invited to try out the fantastic new equipment and ride the train. If you visit be sure to look out for the friendship stones, fairy doors and bug hotels that we have left.
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!

We were so lucky to spend some time at the park today enjoying the new playground and a train ride. The children, as always were wonderful and a credit to the school, it was so lovely to see them enjoy and play safely in their local community. They definitely had a great time.
After learning that light can’t bend around objects, we discussed that this creates shadows. The children in their second experiment were testing how the distance of a light source from the object effected the size of it’s shadow. Here they are all set up again to test out their theories in groups. I was very impressed with their efforts here they did a great job!
In our science week we have been learning about light. We have carried out some experiments that showed us that light can only travel in straight lines, it cannot bend around objects. Here they are in action testing out their theories.
Hunter has blown me away with his fantastic home learning. Taking inspiration from our two page spread he spent the weekend doing his own and teaching himself about other organs in the body too! Great work and effort all round.
Kalab wanted to share his achievements in his marshal arts today, he has earned himself a certificate and his yellow belt! He was so confident talking to the children about his achievements, you can tell he’s proud of himself! Well done.
