Today we each made a Marvin Mouse and flew him as far as we could using our milk bottle rocket. Here we are with the mice that we made. We launched the mice, measured how far they travelled and recorded our results.
Marvin Mouse Flies to the Moon
Science - Rocket Mice / Llygod Rocket Gwyddoniaeth
We have been using our knowledge learned so far about Space to make Rocket Mice. We found out that if we ‘hit, squeeze, push’ the carton harder, then the mice will travel further because of the air from the carton. The mice fly up and then gravity brought them back down. We measured the distance using metre rulers and lego blocks. We discussed the distance travelled and compared whose mice travelled the furthest.
Problem Solving\ Datrys Problemau
We used our mathematical problem solving skills to solve a problem where we used our building skills to build houses in different ways. There always had to be two bricks (rooms) on the bottom and the same number of bricks each time.
Our Solar System\Ein Cysawd yr Haul
We are so pleased with our paper mache solar system. We have used so many skills from across the curriculum to make them!
Our finished Sola System
Look at our AMAZING Solar System!! We have all worked extremely hard to make this fantastic Solar System. Great team work by all of the children!
Science/ Gwyddoniaeth
Year 2 and 3 have been looking at forces and magnets in Science. They carried out an investigation to test the amount of friction on different surfaces.
DCF!
We worked hard to follow instructions and create some bots on some new Lego coding kits. We found this hard work ,but great perseverance and problem solving skills were demonstrated!
Enillwyr Tocynnau Cymraeg
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Da iawn pawb!!
The Solar System/Gofod
Today, we enjoyed using paper mache to create the eight planets of the solar system. We can’t wait to paint them next week!
Spring play
Here are a few snaps from our Spring play, which our pupils wrote. It was based on George’s Marvellous Medicine with a hint of Matilda. The pupils created their own checklist of everything that needed to be completed in order to answer the question ‘What will it take to be ready for a theatrical performance?’
We think they were definitely ready, we hope you did too…!
