Last week in science, we tested our knowledge of air resistance and connected it in an interactive way to our World War 2 topic. We were given a toy soldier, some string, a bin bag liner and had to make a paratrooper that would fall gently from the top of the stairwell. We could cut the string and bag to any size or shape we wanted, then test them out. Some of us were more successful than others  as some paratroopers started to spin, break or fell too fast. All in all, we had fun and learnt new skills.

We learnt about V.E Day (Victory in Europe) and how they celebrated the end of WW2 in Europe. Linking it to our make do and mend learning, we’ve started to make bunting out of old curtain material and fabric. So far, we’ve folded over the bunting flap and sewn it into place, and we’ve cut out our first initials using different fabrics. We can’t wait to share the finished result with you!
