Term 4
Food Chains part 2
Food Chains
We looked at food chains, so investigating the wildlife in the pond area. We saw birds (pigeons and common gulls), bugs (earthworms, woodlice), water bugs (still investigating exactly what these were) and newts. There was also evidence of life: snail shells that had been eaten; spider's web; chestnut with a peck mark out of it; and chewed logs.
We were able to make different food chains, by working out what had eaten what.
Book Day
Roman Catapult Testing
We tested the catapults we made in DT during the Romans Topic with some interesting results. Two groups flew backwards and destroyed their own legionnaires! One group snapped their cantilever by trying too hard. However, we ended up with a very clear longest shot by the purple team: Savanna, Elodie, Olive, Isaac, Lomhara and Sienna.
Well done, everyone for your efforts.
Term 3
Catapult Testing
We investigated different size elastic bands and differently scrunched balls of paper to see which worked best. We will now use this information to design our own Roman catapult ready to build.

Term 2
Ice Skating
We had a wonderful trip to Kent Life for our Stone Age topic finale, but unfortunately Mr Peall forgot the iPad. However, the children were great, showing how much they had remembered and learning new facts from the experts we meet.
Term 1
Making Natural Paints
We found materials that were naturally in our environment to make paint just like the Stone Age artists. We crushed some, rubbed some and mixed some with water. It was great fun and we did not get messy!
