Happy Friday all! 

We would like to invite all parents and carers to attend a Cyber Safety Presentation led by the Police team next Wednesday between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. The presentation will offer valuable, practical advice on protecting yourself, your family and your data online. It will also explain how parents can help children make safe and responsible choices when using technology.

Half term project

 Your project for this half term – Exploring Space 

As you know, last half term we were studying space in Science. I would like you to study some of the areas of space that you have an interest in. Your learning outcome could be a PowerPoint, a Word processed or handwritten project, a model or sculpture. This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of when you will share your learning with the class.  

You could study (but are not restricted to): 

• The moon landing
• Could there be life on other planets?
• Black holes, meteors and other space features
• Constellations of stars

You could create (but are not restricted to):

-        A model of a planet

Have a great week!
