Maths- ThursdayToday I will be calling students up to complete your gloss test. If your not working with me please ensure your worksheets from this week are marked and glued in your books, and your Wednesday maths buddy activity is also completed in your book- ready, notes, fire & aim. I will be checking this when you come up for your test. I also have your algebra test to glue into your books. |

Authorship- see work below. We started this on Friday- laying our information on what we read and learnt about the barn owl. Please make sure your plan is complete. To be successful you need to select 5 different features and put them on the bricks. Then next to each brick write you sentence.
Once you have finished this please share in on seesaw.
Use this to write your own informative piece on the barn owl.

Reading- Monday
Week 9 Term 3
This week we have our wingspan trip on Thursday. Please try and return all permission slips to me by Monday.
Reading Monday- Rockets
Rocket shapeThe streamlined design of rockets helps reduce air resistance. A rocket also has better stability if more of the weight is at the top and the drag is at the base. Remember you must use a 1.5 litre carbonated drink bottle as the base.
NoseconeA good nose cone will help your rocket cut through the air and reduce drag. A simple way to do this is to create a nose cone from the top half of another bottle. Remember not to attach it! During lift off the air pressure will hold the nose cone in place. Try adding extra weight such as three coins or modelling clay under cap. This helps with stability and prevents the rocket from nose diving into the ground.
FinsFins are designed to help stabilise the rocket so it has a smoother trajectory. Fins will stop the rocket from wobbling, falling, flipping over or suddenly changing direction. Think about your rocket’s first test flight and how it flew. Without fins, a rocket is less aerodynamic.
Shape – Most fins are triangular, but other shapes can be used, too. You can experiment using different geometric shapes to see what happens. Remember to keep them all the same shape!
Size – The size of your fins will also change your rocket’s performance. Larger fins increase drag, while smaller fins don’t provide any stability. Streamlined fins will help the rocket cut through the air. A good ratio to consider is making your fins one third of the rocket’s size.
Number – The number of fins on a rocket can also affect its performance. Fins need to be evenly placed around the rocket to distribute the weight and air drag equally. Try using 3–4 fins for maximum stability.
Reading Tuesday- Ruru nesting boxes
