Science
This week the children have been learning about air resistance. They conducted an investigation to answer the question, ‘How does the size of a parachute affect the speed at which it falls to the ground?’. In place of a parachute the children used three different sizes of cupcake cases and dropped these from a height. They measured the time it took to fall with a stopwatch.
The children concluded that the wider the cupcake case, the slower it fell. This was because of the air resistance acting on a larger surface area.
Collective Worship
Cedar class held their collective worship yesterday. They sang a beautiful rendition of Living and Learning and their focus was on determination.
