Year 5 Parent/Carer Session – Science (Forces Experiment)
Dear Parents/Carers,
Our science unit next half-term for Year 5 is: Forces.
Throughout this topic, the children have been learning about gravity, friction, air resistance, and other forces that affect how objects move.
We would like to invite you to join your child for a forces experiment session, where you will work together to test how different forces act on moving objects. The children will prepare the equipment and experiment outline in advance, ready for you to complete the investigation alongside them.
This lesson will take place on Wednesday 26th November from 9.30-10am. If you are able to attend can we please ask you to come to the Waterford Road car park entrance at 9.25am, so we can sign you in and take you to your child’s class.
To make sure we have enough resources for everyone, please complete and return the reply slip below as soon as possible.
Please note that for safeguarding reasons you will not be allowed to use your mobile phone whilst you are on the school site.
We look forward to seeing many of you there and sharing our exciting science learning!
Kind regards
Mr Christopher, Miss Clifton and Mr Trimmer
