We had a wonderful poetry morning with Anna, the poet in residence from the Wordsworth Trust. We wrote some amazing poetry of our own.

We have been investigating friction using cars and ramps

The Eco Council had a great time at the composting workshop at Barrow Library today. We learned a lot about what we should and shouldn't compost and we would now like a wormery!

After investigating levers, pulleys and gears, we made catapults and tested how to change the distance we could send objects across the room

We have been exploring levers, pulleys and gears today and finding out how they work. 

We have been exploring the book The Rabbits by John Marsden and Shaun Tan and using aboriginal art to show the changes which happened to Australia after the Europeans arrived. 

We have been exploring gravity and measuring mass and gravitational force using newton meters

Happy new year and welcome back!

We have been investigating magnetic force today and invented many weird and wonderful things.
