This week in science we investigated water resistance within our 'Forces and Mechanisms' topic. We decided to do some comparative testing to see which shape would have the least or the most water resistance acting on it. Straight away children realised that because we were changing the shape of the modelling clay, this was our independent variable. To ensure it was a fair test, in each group, we decided on a method for timing, used scales to make sure each shape weighed the same and dropped each shape from the same height.
We repeated each test three times to find the average time for each shape.
We acted as scientists to conclude that shapes that had been streamlined could move through water the quickest since it's smaller surface area meant there was less water resistance acting upon it.
Well done to our certificate winners:

This week Class 11 was incredibly lucky to have Matthew Bellwood visit us. We built on our knowledge that we had previously learnt about the Victorians in year 2. We now know that Victorian children listened to fairy tales but there's were a little scarier than the ones we were told!
We loved looking at all the different events the Victorians looked forward to. We could spot similarities and differences to the entertainment that they had and what we do now. We loved exploring Victorian toys and plays Victorian games too.
We learned all about the Victorian's love for books and how the first public library was set up in the Victorian times. We also learned how they watched zoetropes and praxinoscope. We learned how moving pictures eventually evolved into films.
It was a brilliant day!

Class 11 have tried their hand at debating this week! We made a conscience alley and had some excellent for and against arguments for whether it was or whether it was not acceptable for Goldilocks to enter the bear's house without permission. I am extremely impressed with how mature their arguments were. Well done year 5!
