4th class

Heart Rate

In the days after Science Week, we were keen to continue investigating the world around us.  First of all, we meditated so that we felt completely relaxed. Children found their pulse and counted how many times their heart beat in one minute. We recorded this. We added up the amounts for all of the children and divided our answer by the number of children in the class. This gave us the “average resting heart rate” for our class. We then sprinted and jumped on the spot for one minute. Immediately after this activity we found the average class heart rate using the same methods. Every student’s heart rate had risen and the class average was also higher. Check out our method and results in the sheets below.

Meditation was used to lower heart rate.

Exercise lead to an increase in average heart rate. 

6th class 

6th class had to research and design paper planes. when complete they used the hall to measure which planes could go the furthest and the highest. 6th class investigated if weights made a difference to how far their planes could go and also if wing size made a difference. Estimates were made first and depending on how far the planes went 6th class used measuring tapes, trundle wheel, metre stick to measure each distance.

Miss Beechers Class like to bake as part of their work in science,  this always involves measuring and weighing to make sure everything is added in the correct amount. 

This year as part of an environmental awareness trip in science children had to gather and count egges and also measure formula and water to feed lambs with. Children also had to gather the correct amount of ingredients from the vegetable garden to make soup with.

MATHS WEEK (& Maths Trails)

Well done to everyone who took part in Maths Week 2022! As you can see, we had a very busy week, with online Maths quizzes and workshops, our annual Maths Dress Up Day, Maths Trails throughout the school and our Estimation Station.
