February '21
Please find the Remote Learning tasks on the Star links above.
Well done to the Year 6 children for working so hard this week. Thank you for all the hard work that you have all been submitting, we are really enjoying seeing all the fantastic effort you are all putting in! We have noticed, however, that not all of the children have been completing their target number of texts on Reading Plus. These reading sessions are included in your 4 hours of learning, so it is important that you log on to Reading Plus each day. When you are sending work back to us, please can you write the day and date of the task at the top of the work, then it is easier for us to keep track of who is sending which pieces of work back. After reviewing our remote learning provision, we would like you to make sure that all completed work (from the previous week) is submitted, at the very latest, every Monday before 12pm.
We have managed to speak to many of the parents this week through phone calls and emails, to check that you are all getting on ok with the Remote Learning. We will continue to stay in regular contact with you all at home each week.
Mrs Alty and Mr Biggs

We have been studying forces in our science lessons this year and today we will take a deeper look at friction and begin planning an investigation which we will be carrying out in school once we have returned. Attached is a Powerpoint which briefly recaps on friction. The Powerpoint needs to be viewed in slideshow mode (along the tool bar at the top, select 'Slideshow and then 'from the beginning'). Your task is to plan an investigation which examines the effects of friction that different surface create. I want to find out which surfaces will create the most friction when a heavy book is moved over them.
The only equipment you will have is: a heavy book, a Newton meter (to measure how much force it takes to pull the object), string to connect the object to the force meter and various surfaces (some rough e.g. concrete and some smooth e.g. table top).
It is up to you to decide how you want to to carry out this investigation, but remember that this must be a fair test so you will need to think about how you can make it so.
There are two planning frames below for you to choose from.
