Raising money to support protecting coral reefs.
We made sea creature biscuits to sell to the rest of the school so that we can adopt a turtle. The WWF help to protect coral reefs and the creatures that live there. Turtles are important to the coral reef ecosystem because they eats the sponges and algae that can overrun a reef. Turtles are an…

Today we investigated how different surfaces have different amounts of friction. The car didn't even move until we pushed it! The quickest surfaces were the cloth and wood although we found it difficult to time!!
Investigating Autumn
As part of our ongoing work in Science, learning about the seasons, we looked back at the photographs that we took in RE during September. We talked about what had changed and why. We went out to take some more photos so that we could compare. In true English Autumn style it starts to rain once…
