Y5 trip to the Science Museum

Fri 31 Mar 2023

Yesterday, Y5 went on a trip to the Science Museum. We walked around all 4 floors looking at different exhibits such as Space and Medicine before having our workshop in the Wonderlab. In the lab we got to experiment with different materials, objects and were able to touch, smell and play with everything! My favourite was getting spun around like a figure skater. I also loved the friction slides and all of the medicine exhibitions. It has made want to become a doctor! By Lyla

I loved playing with magnets and making my own big marble run! I had to use tubes on a magnetic board and create a huge marble run! By Alex I

I really enjoyed the Wonderlab as it allowed me to explore lots of Science in one room. I loved making wind by pulling myself on a pulley wind turbine! I also loved the Space area as we have already learnt about this! I really want to go to space! By Dalia

My favourite part was the flight exhibit. Here was saw how aeroplanes and the idea of flying has evolved over the last 100 years. It was fantastic and it felt like I was in a real hanger! By Jaian

Nursery River trip

Fri 17 Mar 2023

On Wednesday all the nursery children were lucky to go on a river trip to look for some new life. All were very excited to take part in the trip. First we had to stop on the Common for a snack and were lucky enough to find the perfect spot. It was a very muddy walk! We managed to find lots of different sticks and some even found some branches. Unfortunately we couldn’t carry them back to Nursery. We saw some spring flowers along the way and a few blooming trees. Once at the river we tried to feed the ducks, however there were very few ducks if any. That didn’t stop us from having fun and enjoying a nice sunny walk to the river! All were very tired at the end and happy to be back in Nursery.

Y6 TRIP TO THE THAMES BARRIER

Fri 10 Mar 2023 By Albert & Xanthe—Y6

On Thursday 9th March, as part of our Geography topic, Y6 went over to the Thames Barrier in Woolwich for a visit and a workshop.

We learnt all about how the Thames Barrier has stopped 207 flooding incidents and about what could happen to London if the Barrier wasn’t there. We found out a lot of facts such as: The Thames is one of the cleanest rivers in England and salmon are returning to the river. Another fact is that the maximum speed of the Thames is 2.75 knots. The Thames Barrier was built because of the 1953 flood that drowned the south east coast, it was caused by a perfect storm. They started building it in 1974 and was finished in 1982; the first time it was used was 1983 and was officially opened in 1984 by the Queen.

This was a very interesting trip and it has definitely helped us in geography and our topic on extreme Earth and flooding.
