Year 6
13.09.24
We are back in business and Year 6 have made an outstanding start to their final year at St Peter's.
Our DT topic to start the year is 'Chinese Inventions'. This week the children carried out an investigation to test the overall efficiency of four different types of paper (printer paper, tissue paper, newspaper and sugar paper). They tested various factors such as strength, absorbency, opacity, as well as carrying out an ink test.
As well as that, the children made their own hanging compasses by magnetising their needles and attaching them with threads to their pencils, before carefully dangling their magnetised needles into plastic cups.
A great start to our new topic. Well done children!
