Wingham Primary School
Learning together, we grow kind hearts and healthy minds
Term 1
Maple class went on a trip to the East Kent Ploughing Match alongside the year 4 class. We saw birds of prey, fox hounds, wellie throwing and a range of farming machinery including old steam ploughing machines! It was a brilliant day learning about local practices.
Maple class have been learning about space including missions to the Moon. They have designed and made their own buggies in small groups. They use saws to cut accurately as well as hot glue guns to securely make their buggies. In English, they have been creating a persuasive poster and advert trying to sell their buggies.
We had parents in to support with building parachutes to test the effects of air resistance. They planned, designed and made 3 parachutes to test whether they could keep an egg safe.
At the very beginning of term, Maple class used papier mache to create their own planets. They painted them and decided what features they would have. In English, they wrote a description of their planet before writing a non-chronological report of their world.
