Ford Class 2025-26

Beach Day - Friday 13th March
On Friday we had a really brilliant beach day, the change of dates was the right call and we had great weather unlike the original date set! On the way down we spotted changes of seasons, wildlife and plants along the way. In the morning, we worked in the forest creating key landmarks and showed them with our group. We then made animal habitats and presented those too. After lunch, we headed to the beach and took time in our groups making volcanoes. For science week, we experimented with bicarbonate soda and vinegar to make a reaction that looked like lava at the top of our volcano- we had so much fun doing this! Mrs Johnson then showed us the diet coke and mentos experiment and we watched that reaction too. We linked this to healthy eating and thought about the effects coke can have on our teeth. We ended the day with a play in the park. 
 
Beach Day- Friday 28th November
Ford had a wonderful Friday on the beach! We were very lucky with the weather- missed the lunchtime rain and got back into school before the 3pm downpour! In the morning, we explored states of matter further and acted out the particles to help us warm up. Throughout the day, we thought about cities in geography. We created a world map in the sand with key landmarks and biomes. We also built our own city in the sand drawing upon features of cities we know and built our favorite landmarks in the sand. Thank you Mrs Johnson, we had a brilliant day!
