Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Science this week, we have continued to look at forces. Following on from last week’s experiment and our findings about air resistance, we investigated the best design for a parachute. First we made one using a square of plastic (a cut up bin bag), string and maths multi-link cubes. We then changed one variable to find out if it fell quicker or slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bikeability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, several groups of children have been out on their bikes in the playground and on the roads around the school, practising their cycling skills. A lot of the children have gained confidence and improved their ability to ride a bike, which has been wonderful to see. During the residential next year, one of our activities will be cycling at Gisburn Forest. Non-riders will be catered for but in order to enjoy the experience to the full, confidence on the bike is ideal. From personal experience the canal is a great place to ride, although local parks or the Civic Hal car park are closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Maths, we have been looking at equivalent fractions. The rule is, to find an equivalent fraction, you must mulitply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the video below to help your child’s understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the crime, Mr Wolf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rehearsals have been going well for the Christmas performance. We have completed a run through of every scene and have been impressed with how many children have learned all or a vast majority of their lines. Continuing to help in this area will enable us to focus on stage direction and acting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a lovely weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
