Year 5 pupils enjoyed a visit to Paultons Park to enrich their learning about forces as part of their science work.  Being able to understand how forces are linked to the rides in a theme park made for some memorable learning moments and children enjoyed some time trying out the rides as well.

 

Some of our Year 5 children have written up an account of their trip for the newsletter- we hope you enjoy reading what Ellie and Sebastian have written:

 

On Wednesday 3rd of July, Year 5 went on a school trip to Paultons park to enhance their science learning on forces.  At the workshop they went to, they discovered different types of wheels, which are used for the smaller coasters like caterpillar, farmyard flyer and many of the others.  Also, they had so much fun whizzing around on some of thriller rides and smiling and laughing on the not so fast ones. Some of their favourite rides were Cobra, Storm Chaser, Cyclonater, Flight of the Pterosaur, etc.  By the end there were many tired faces and voices, which had started to disappear from all the screaming.

 

And a big thank you to all the parent helpers and teachers, who helped this fantastic trip run smoothly.

 

Feedback from staff was that children behaved fantastically and were excellent ambassadors for the school - well done Year 5 and thank you!
