Hi all,
I had some exciting news during the week that I want to share with you.
This is Daniel O Connor, born Wednesday night and he came home on Friday.
He and his mom are doing great.
He and his mom are doing great.
I might be a busier at home but I love hearing from you so make sure to get in contact if you want. I sent out the links for Seesaw to your parents last week if you want i set up an online journal with their permission.
Below is a list of work
for the week of the 4th of May. Remember that Monday is a Bank
holiday so make sure to take a well deserved break.
Further to Ms. Murphy’s e
mail we hope to have fun Friday where we try and stay away from the books and
learn through active engagement and fun. This week’s fun Friday idea is to be
creative try some of the activities listed on the link below which we received
from the creative schools.

activities you can do in a minute and then count it

complete challenges. They can then upload a pic of their finished project on
the link attached to the blog post or Seesaw if they want.
Learn how Medieval wars
were fought and won with the use of clever engineering techniques!
Today, you will build a Medieval siege weapon called a trebuchet. A trebuchet works differently to a catapult. It relies on gravitational potential energy—the type of energy you get by raising something up off the ground. A trebuchet has a lever arm with a large, heavy counterweight on one end and a smaller projectile on the other end. When the counterweight is raised up, it has lots of gravitational potential energy. Then the counterweight is allowed to fall, rotating the lever arm and converting that potential into kinetic energy in the projectile, which is flung through the air.
You can learn about the history of the trebuchet by watching the short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6LeWzNx_c
