Gravity and Air resistance investigation - Science

Year 5 have been busy investigating in Science! The children were given a glue stick, a pen, a tennis ball and a piece of paper to test the effects of gravity and air resistance. The approaches they took were all different but all proved to be effective and give some interesting results!










VR Experience - Computing

Year 5 had a fantastic time on their Virtual Reality Space experience! They flew through space finding out about lots of the different planets on their way. Tom, from the VR company, commented on how well behaved and friendly  the children all were!
