On the Ipads we tried to see if our friend Charlie’s number trick was correct. Here are some links that will show you how we solved the number trick.           <iframe src=”http://www.showme.com/sma/embed/?s=n1VYs6q” width=”578″ height=”433″></iframe>       <iframe src=”http://www.showme.com/sma/embed/?s=iFStJOy” width=”578″ height=”433″></iframe>      <iframe src=”http://www.showme.com/sma/embed/?s=lhgSIHw” width=”578″ height=”433″></iframe>  Updated by Freddy and Eleanor (Digital leaders)

In Science we investigated frictional forces. We used chop sticks to pick up cubes of jelly and we had to move it to a plate about 30 cm away. We found that this was not too tricky. Then we put oil on the jelly and tried to move it across to another plate. We found this harder as the oil made the surface smooth causing less frictional force and therefore made it much more slippery. Look at these photos…
