Freya was chosen to be last week’s star of the week for being a good friend and for making people laugh. She did a great job collecting and taking back the registers. Thanks Freya, and well done.
Emily has been chosen as our new star of the week for including people in her games and for also being a good friend. This is the second time that she has been a star of the week since the beginning of Year Four. Well done Emily.

In case you haven’t yet played the friction game that I posted a while back, click here to play it! Can you tell me which surface, out of the different ones available, has the least amount of friction?

After my previous blog post about building yourself as a strange character using animal parts, click here to build yourself as a super hero! Great fun! 

I came across a website called ‘Build Your Wild Self’ yesterday; this website allows you to build yourself as a character using animal and other strange parts. Check it out by clicking here.

I can’t wait for next term to begin as, throughout the term, we are going to be taking part in lots of science investigations and are going to be learning about forces, friction and gravity. Below I’ve written some information and posted some links to learning games to help you start to learn about these important words.
A force is: a push or a pull that causes something to speed up or slow down. As an example, I could push you on your skates to start you moving - we would say that the push that I gave you is a force.
Friction is: a force that slows down or stops an object from moving. If I gave you a push on your skates, if you were not to push yourself along the ground using your feet, you would come to a stop after a few seconds. This is because friction between the wheels of your skates and the ground stops you from moving - the ground slows you down.
Gravity is: the force that makes things fall to the ground. Learn more by clicking here.
Below are some learning games for you to experiment with.

A big thanks to Katie for designing the snowy scene picture that I’ve used to make my new blog banner. Thanks Katie! 

Hello amazing people. I was so impressed with the snowy scenes that you all created today that I’ve posted a few of the photos that I took during the lesson on the front page of our school website. Click here to see them. 

I recently posted some photos of our 3D building afternoon on the Lower KS2 part of the school website - click here to check them out. 

Hello wonderful people! Below are links to some snow games that you can have a go at playing tomorrow during your day off. Of course, you could always do some maths, English and science if you really want to impress me!
