Viking Longboats
Room 10 created their own Viking longboats to use as part of their science investigation into floating & sinking.
Making Rocket Explosions in Room 5!
Room 5 have been exploring Space throughout term 1.
We really wanted to learn about rockets and how they took off. We decided to do a science experiment with alka seltzer, plastic film containers and some water.The rockets worked very very well and flew like a real spaceship!
We have written instructions for whoever would like to try it out!

Science Investigations in Room 5
Room 5 carried out a science investigation into what might affect the size of a crater when a meteorite hits a planet. They investigated a number of variables including the size, shape and weight of the meteorite and the surface landing. They presented their results to the class and found that:
– the heavier the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced
– the bigger the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced.
– the flattest shapes made the biggest craters and
– the softer the landing surface, the bigger the crater.
They are looking forward to carrying out their next investigation!
