Thank you so much for all the great memories Class 4. I have loved teaching you Science over the last few years. I look forward to hearing about all of your future achievements! Thank you for all the lovely cards, the memory book and presents. Mr Phillips.
Wow, what a fantastic school play out on the Willow Bank last night. Here are a selection of photos:
We are continuing our study of Physics this week, by making a trebuchet.
What a wonderful class they are 🙂
The experiment today, was to design a way to slow a marble down as it rolled down a table. The pupils weren’t allowed to touch the marble once they had let it go. They tried different ways to slow the marbles down including friction, increasing the distance and losing energy with impacts on surfaces and speed bumps.
Today we learnt all about snails! How they fit in with MRS GREN, like all living things. This stands for:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition
 
While Year 6s were working on their SATs, we went into Coombe Woods to learn about the animals and plants and to practise our team building and camp building skills!
We looked at how different musical instruments make sounds. We also looked at how sound is a vibration and how the vibration travels into your ear and how your brain receives the information about that vibration.
In the second lesson we investigated which ,materials were the best for making ear protectors. Three of the boys invented stick on your ear, static ear protectors!
For a final fun lesson to end our work about Animals and Plants, we looked at how you can use plants to make indicators for acid and alkalis. We also added some bicarbonate of soda to the acid and indicator for fun!
We had a great visit from Ranger Russ and learnt all about his amazing animals.
