SCIENCES Year 7 Hit Forest Park Nature Trail In October, Year 7 visited the nature trail on the little piece of woodland on our school site known as Forest Park, where the Pre-Prep have their Forest School lessons. Led by Dr Clive Nuttman, an environmental educator, the pupils learned all about “adaptations” in nature through our local flora and fauna. Dr Nuttman explained that everything around us has adapted to thrive in its environment. Pupils then explored the woodland themselves, collecting items to discuss with the class.
Year 3 enjoyed a virtual “visit” from a dentist, who told them all about how to keep their teeth clean and healthy. Everyone got a lovely goody bag at the end, which went down a treat!
Year 4 explored friction in Science. They tried picking up jelly with chopsticks, with and without oil on the jelly, and they created rollers with pens to test the difference between sliding friction and rolling friction 78 | The Chronicle 2020-21
