Today we discussed / re-capped on gravity.  I explained that  we measure gravitational pull using Newtons and 1N=1Kg . We call the gravitational pull of something its ‘weight’. We re-capped on the ‘centre of gravity’ and then I showed the children some spring balances. Each group went away to find a selection of 5 things of different weight and we used the balances to weigh them and then arrange the objects in order. In reality only some children were very interested and these children placed their objects in order and labelled them using small sticks. We finished by discussing density and the children gave examples of materials which were very dense etc

As it is world book day tomorrow we finished by creating stories. Each group acted out a story about a vampire and we then toured them – one group was the beginning, the next the middle etc. It was chaos but fun chaos and certainly very imaginative!
