Spring 2 2024

Badger class have been learning about different metals and rate of reactions this term. They spent time learning about the reactivity series before learning how to write up a full investigation, looking at the rate of a reaction. They made a prediction about which chocolate would melt the fastest based on its properties such as the percentage of cocoa in each. 

In DT, they worked on designing and creating a steady hand game fit for their chosen target audience, for this they needed to use their prior knowledge of building a complete working circuit. Some learners chose to have a light bulb and buzzer while others chose to just use a buzzer. 

In English, Badger class have been looking at a non-fiction text about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria this half term. They spent time gathering key facts about each, creating a timeline and discussing the impact they had on Britian at the time of their reign, before creating a poster about their chose Queen and presenting them to some other classes.
