As part of Space Week, we have been very busy engineers. We made rockets using foam, card, duct tape and an elastic band. We’ve learnt that the elastic band works as a catapult to send our rockets soa ...
We have begun an investigation into “Flight” and all things that fly. Our project is a joint project with St. Mary’s Primary School, Fivemiletown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. We a ...
We made windmill kites today and we decided to do some scientific investigations with them. Teacher had two examples but the funny thing is that one windmill rotated clockwise and the other windmill r ...
We are talking about all things that fly. Parachutes don’t really fly but do help people and things land safely from the air. Have a look at Felix Baumgartner jumping from the edge of space. W ...
We are learning about forces in our Science lessons. We worked hard to create paper airplanes, and had lots of fun testing how far they could fly! ...
The Chinese New Year begins on February 1st this year. It will be the year of the tiger. Dragons and Chinese lanterns are part of the festival of the Chinese New Year. We painted some spiral dragons, ...

We are learning about hovercrafts. It is easy to make a hovercraft out of an old CD, some bluetack, the lid of a drinks bottle and a balloon. When we rub our hands together we notice that they become ...
We have made wonderful kites from paper, skewers and string. We flew these outside today. We tried to find the best way to get them to fly. With very little wind, we had lots of running to do to get ...
As part of our project on Flight, we made some nice paper aeroplanes today, and we flew them outside. We tried various adjustments to get our planes to fly further. Here are some aeroplanes you can m ...
We were investigating bubbles today. We looked at what shape they are (interestingly, they are always spherical no matter what shape the bubble wand is), how big can we make them, what colours can we ...
We made paper helicopters today, and investigated the answers to lots of interesting questions: What things in nature use helicopters wings? Which way do our helicopters spin, clockwise or ant ...
For Science Week 2020 the students and teachers of Room 9 have been investigating Flight and all things that fly. Here are some of our investigations so far: Investigating bubbles 2nd class (Nov 2020) ...
The flying tea bag experiment is a heat experiment which looks like a really interesting trick. Only an adult should light the match, and the tea bag should be lit on a metal or glass plate (because ...
We have been learning about things that fly. We have asked lots of questions and carried out lots of experiments. Today we joined up on Zoom with Ms. Audrey Boyd’s senior class from St. Mary’s P ...
We have paper helicopters, and lots of interesting questions: Which way do they spin, clockwise or anticlockwise? How can we change the direction of spin? Does the size matter to the speed in which th ...
