Year 5 have had a lovely afternoon making parachutes to help answer the question ‘Does the size of a parachute affect the time it takes for it to fall to the ground?’ as part or our air resistance unit. Everyone had fun measuring their parachutes, discussing the variables and collecting their results! Well done Year 5, super science work! 🪂

Year 3 took advantage of the nice weather and went on a hunt for some natural resources to use in art. They pretended they were in the Stone Age and searched for natural pigments to put into their ‘prehistoric palettes’ We couldn’t believe how bright the colours were from leaves, petals and berries! 🍁🍃🫐🌼

What a super debate Year 3 had today! After watching some clips from the Houses of Parliament, we created our own debate on whether we would have enjoyed living in the Stone Age or not! Elvin and Jax did a great job leading their parties and Mrs Brentnall even popped along to check who was more convincing! Fantastic oracy skills on show by lots of children! 👍🏼
