    In Theme, we have been learning about the Legend of Robin Hood. We have learnt all about the History of the Medieval Period, the features of a castle and the Geography of Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. We have also looked at evidence to help us decide whether Robin Hood was real or not!

  • Science - Testing the absorbancy of different materials

    Published 25/01/23, by Catherine Usherwood

    In Science this term, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. We conducted a fair experiment to test which material would be the most absorbent - microfibre cloth, felt or and tissue. We made predictions prior to the experiment and unanimously voted the tissue would be the least absorbent, with the class split over microfibre cloth or felt for being the most! For all groups, it was discovered that the felt was the material that absorbed the most water, making it the best material to soak up a spill!

    This term we have been learning about the Great fire of London and built our own Tudor houses. We lined them up, close together like the houses on pudding lane would have been and set fire to them. We could see how the fire spread so quickly between the houses in 1666 - our cardboard houses quickly turned to ash!
