We have been learning about forces. We started by looking at types of forces (push, pull, twist, stretch, and bend).
Then we talked about friction and how it causes heat (when we rub our hands together) and how it can slow objects.
We predicted that a car would travel slower on grass than pavement due to friction. We were correct!
A big well done to Mrs Maclennan and staff in the kitchens, who served up 250+ delicious Turkey dinners today. The boys and girls were very appreciative and polite, with lots of pleases and thank you’s. The older pupils were a great help with serving the younger pupils. This year the workmen joined us in the dining hall for Christmas Dinner, somehow managing to have their own jug of gravy at their table!
Where did you get that gravy?
Thank you ladies for the excellent dinner.
Happy children with their Christmas dinner!
