In science, we have been learning about forces. We planned and carried out an experiment to investigate air resistance using paper spinners. We had to think carefully about the different variables deciding what was going to change and how to keep the other variables the same to make sure our results were fair.
We used force meters (Newton meters) to find out how different surfaces affected the amount of friction when pulling an object.

Mo and Veronica spent the afternoon in Woburn Class where we identified what advantageous adaptations make pigeons excellent racers.
A walk in the forest as part of our forest school sessions. We identified clues to show that wildlife had been in the part of the forest we were in, swung on the rope swing, tried out a den, identified trees using their leaves and seeds, had fun with our friends and explored shelf fungus growing on a tree.

Galapagos Islands, Animals and Charles Darwin Fact Pages. In Science, we have been learning about evolution and inheritance. As part of this work, we researched the Galapagos Islands, the animals that lived there and Charles Darwin himself. Here are the fact pages that we made.
After studying Anglo-Saxon shields, Woburn Class designed and sculpted their own miniature versions out of clay. Once dry, these will be fired in the kiln, then glazed, before being fired once again. Keep watch for the finished designs over the next few weeks!
