We had a super week of science and investigated lots of different things.

we thought about how the length of a helicopter’s blades could effect how well if flew.

We considered how we would make it a fair test and made accurate measurements

Olivia and Talula thought about the different types of exercise that would keep our bodies fit and healthy

We investigated the idea that if you drop a piece of toast, it will always land butter side down!

We tested to see if the height it was dropped, the size of the piece of the variety of topping made  difference to this theory.

We have also bought about how finger prints are taken. We experimented with a range of different of different ways to see which gave us the clearest and mot detailed print.

we have had a lovely tea then held a competition to see who could build a rocket that would travel the furthest. Charlie P’s rocket won! We’re now in our pjs watching a film!

We are here safe and sound and have settled into our new home for the night. We have taken part in a drama workshop with Clem from the busy days company. Our theme was volcanoes and earthquakes. We work hard to be creative, imaginative, and to work as a team. We had lots of fun and have laughed a lot too.

This week we have been thinking about how the Romans helped to shape our lives today. The Romans were the first to build proper roads in Britain. We had a go at making our own Roman Roads, but a much more interesting version! If you would like to have a go at making your own Chocolate Roman Road then follow the instructions below, written by Charlie Pass:

How to make a CHOCOLATE Roman Road

Have you ever wondered how the Romans built their roads? If yes, then read these instructions and you might be able to make your own tasty, edible version.

What you need:

• Muesli
• Fig roll
• White KitKat
• Maltesers
• Oreos

What you do:

1. First put muesli in the cup. That stands for the rubble that the Romans used at the very bottom, once they had dug a trench.
2. Secondly put the fig roll in. This is like the layer of concrete.
3. Next Carefully place the KitKat on top of the fig roll. They are a mixture of stones and concrete
4. After that, place the maltesers (which are the large stones) and try to make sure that they don’t roll away.
5. Finally, lay the Oreo biscuit like you would smooth paving stones.

Don’t eat it all at once or you might be sick. Make sure that you share with your friends.

In Science club this week to link with ‘Switch off fortnight’ the children were given a challenge. The challenge was to make a circuit and then create a switch using household materials. The children used tinfoil, paper clips, split pins and card to do this. They all did a fantastic job and had fun too!

Our end of year display.

Our bee is finally ready to fly off to Manchester! Watch out for the press release in the next few weeks.

This week we have set up some interesting eggperiments to investigate the affect of sugary drinks on our teeth and hopefully the importance of using toothpaste.  We can’t wait to see what happens to our toothpaste covered eggs…..

Today volunteers from Bees in the City came to teach us all about bees. We had a great time with lots of interesting activities. A big thank you to all the volunteers for all their hard work in making it a wonderful afternoon.
