This week Norman class have been exploring the stability and strengths of structures. We have used this knowledge to make Fudge a chair. Some of our prototypes worked and some needed alterations. Next week we will make Fudge a chair with the knowledge we have gained from making our prototypes!

Science - which offspring look like/don't look like their adults?

Inspired by the DT lesson, a few children constructed a platform made of cylinders in their golden time. It even held the weight of Mrs Redvers!

Great Fire of London Workshop

We had a fantastic day travelling back to 1666. We visited the shops and businesses along the street and learned how to make candles, how to weave, how to make soap and scent parcels, how to make clay plaques, how to make ink and we even wrote to the King to ask him to do something about this raging fire. We worked as a team to look for clues in the rubble to identify the shops after the fire. It was so much fun!

The Great Fire of London Workshop

We had such a wonderful day roleplaying life in 1666. We visited some of the different shops to make candles, plague clay badges, leather work, our own ink to write with, soap with nice smelling herbs and some smelling bags. We caught some diseased rats, looked for French soldiers, formed water lines and tried to put out the fire. Eventually we left London for safety. Once the fire had died down we spent time looking at artefacts found in different places to help us work out what type of shop had been burnt down, we had to look for lots of clues to help us make our decisions.
