Elm Class - Term 2

What an exciting week we have had! This week, in English, we have been exploring different narrative texts and our next focus text - Freedom Bird. On Thursday morning, Elm Class had a brilliant workshop with the author Matt Oldfield at Ridgeway School, who discussed his journey to become an author of over 80 books! Thursday was also World Diabetes Awareness Day, where the children dressed in blue, and Friday was Children in Need - the children looked fantastic!

During our first week back, we introduced our new unit in Science. The children investigated the question - 'Does the size of a spherical object change the size of the crater?' - by dropping various spherical objects, from the same height, and into the sand below. They then took three measurements of the width of the crater and found the average measurement. The children then analysed their findings and drew a graph to represent their data.
