Bicycles, simple machines and PE

This term we are studying simple machines and how they transfer force from one place to another. The details of this theme can be found here:

To start this theme off, we are asking that the children bring bicycles into school so we can study the way in which a push on the pedals causes a faster movement in the wheels. They need to bring their bicycles tomorrow (Tuesday 26th April). They can be deposited at the foot of the steps up to the pod (near to Little Ducks) and we will help the children to carry them into the classroom. Children should not be riding their bikes around the playground before school.

In PE, the swimming sessions are now finished and the children will have 2 lessons of PE each week. They will therefore need PE kits on both Wednesday and Thursday each week.
