Rock Test Challenge

Last week we did the Rock Test Challenge. We wanted to see if some rocks were hard and others soft. We also wanted to test if the rocks were permeable. We had great fun learning and found some interesting results.

Here are some more photos of our soil investigation. We discovered that sandy soil drained the quickest.

Soil Investigation

Today we have been investigating which soil drained the quickest.We used top soil, sandy soil and we discussed the effect of clay soil. We measured in ml the amount of water that came through the funnel. Here are some of our pictures.

Investigating Forces

As part of our science work on forces we investigated how far toy cars would travel using an elastic band. We worked in groups of 4 and discussed with each other the best method of carrying out this investigation. We measured how far we pulled back the elastic band and also measured the distanced travelled by the car. We recorded the results of all the cars. Here are some of our pictures and this is what we said:

Aimee "It was fun learning about how forces work."

Megan "The more you pull the elastic back the further the car will travel."

Iwan " I enjoyed pulling the different cars back with the elastic and watching them zoom across the floor".

Harry "I enjoyed working with my group and would like to do it again."

Cara " It was fun and I enjoyed it."

Leon " I thought the yellow sports car would go the furthest, it measured over 4m"

When we got back to class we recorded our results in our books.

KS2 Sports Day

Dear Parent(S),

Please not that the KS2 sports day will be held on Monday 1st of June at 1:30pm.

Maths Problem Solving

This week we have been problem solving in maths. We worked with a partner and had to try and solve the problem using the different objects. We had straws that had to be made into squares and pencils into triangles. We needed to measure distances and sequence patterns on our white boards. We had lots of fun.

Kai said " I really enjoyed the measuring we worked out the answer together."
