We love reading! We complete daily reading lessons with the children and also listen to the individually every week. We have a lovely new set of books the children can borrow and bring home to read.

Science: Forces

We will be investigating:

- Gravity.

- Friction and the effects of air resistance, water resistance and buoyancy.

- Mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allowing a smaller force to have a greater effect.

The children will be taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment and recording their results.
