Science – Air Resistance Experiment

In Science, Year 5 have been observing the effects of air resistance on parachutes. They have been investigating to find the relationship between the surface area of the parachute and the resulting air resistance; measuring this by seeing the time it takes for them to reach the ground when dropped.

Our Senses

Looking after our teeth

In Reception we have been learning about people who help us, we looked at the job of a dentist. We then talked about how we can keep our teeth healthy. The children had a chance to practise their teeth brushing skills.

Making potions 🧪❤️⭐️

This morning in preschool we have been reading one of our termly stories “Meg and Mog” and in the story they made a potion, so preschool decided what an amazing idea it would be to make our own potion. We worked together to mix, pour and stir our amazing potion. We will keep checking our potion to see how it changes from a liquid to a solid. We look forward to updating you with our marvellous creations. ❤️

Preschool potions 🧪⭐️🕷

Our amazing potions are ready! ⭐️

We went to collect them from the kitchen, and we noticed they weren’t like water anymore. One child said “it’s wobbly!” ❤️

We then enjoyed our wonderful creation together for an afternoon snack. 💛

Well done preschool! 🧪🥰
