Friction investigation

Today we investigated the effect of friction on different surfaces. We used wood, felt, silk, carpet and sandpaper to see if they would effect the speed of the toy car. We found that wood had the least friction with the toy car and carpet had the most friction.

Anti-bullying week

This week, we celebrated Anti-bullying week. On Tuesday, we all wore odd socks to recognise that we are all different. We also did an activity on kindness. We each thought about someone in our class and wrote down the kind things that they do for us on a leaf. When we gave each person their leaf it made them smile. We recognised the importance of being kind to each other and how positive messages about someone can make them feel happy.

Our trip to The Old Vic

Yesterday, we visited the Old Vic to see Viviane Schwarz, who is a famous author and illustrator. During our visit, she read us one of her stories and showed us how she creates illustrations of her characters. We also helped her to write the beginning of a new story using our fantastic imagination.
