We've had another great week in Oak Tree Class, with our trip to Armley Mills to finish.
The pupils have worked really hard this week, especially in English where we have written, edited and published biographies based on Dr Barnardo (which links to our class topic: Victorians). It has been a pleasure reading through the biographies and seeing the pupils working hard on them.
In science this week, we have continued studying forces, in particular Gravity. We conducted a Science observation, where we had to measure the mass (how heavy an object is) of an object and then its weight (the gravitational pull on the object) before comparing the results.
Measuring the mass with a scale. Measuring the weight with a Newton meter.
On Friday, we embarked on our trip to Armley Mills. The trip has a great link to our Victorian topic and will lead onto some fantastic writing in English. The pupils all did a great job of dressing up and looked the part. Pupils were able to take part in a range of activities, including looking around the mill and taking part in a Victorian classroom experience. A photo album will follow.
