Art
This term the children have been learning all about space. They have created some fantastic pieces of artwork using their skills in observational drawing, sketching and painting.
P.E
The children were joined by Alex to complete some talk activities through physical education. They enjoyed discussing which activities they participated in school and out of school. At the end of the session the children had a paper ball fight!
french
In French we have been learning about weather systems. We learnt a French rap about the weather:
Quel temps fait-il? What’s the weather like?
Il fait beau! Il fait beau! It’s nice! It’s nice!
Quel temps fait-il? What’s the weather like?
Il fait chaud ! Il fait chaud! It’s hot! It’s hot!
Quel temps fait-il? What’s the weather like?
Il y a du soleil ! It’s sunny!
Quel temps fait-il? What’s the weather like?
Il fait mauvais ! It’s bad!
Here is our rap battle, who do you think won?! IMG_1018

ENQUIRY LEARNING- What do forces actually do?
Galileo studied the pulling force- gravity. He dropped two steel balls, of the same size but different masses, from the top of The Tower of Pisa at the same time. We decided to replicate this experiment ourselves; unfortunately we couldn’t go to Italy, so the playground had to do!
Most children predicted that the heavier ball would hit the ground first. However, we found that both balls fell to the ground at the same time!
Over 1500 years later, Galileo studied this pulling force- gravity. He dropped two steel balls, of the same size but different masses, from the top of The Tower of Pisa at the same time.
Most children predicted that the heavier ball would hit the ground first. We recreated this experiment, and found that both balls fell on the floor at the same time!
