Chilcote's Great Paper Caper

Two weeks ago the whole school gathered to hear the story of The Great Paper Caper where we learnt about the mystery of trees going missing from a forest. It turns out it was the work of a frustrated bear who was desperate to win a paper airplane competition, but wasn't very good at making them!

The animals who lived in the wood sent us a letter asking if we could help Bear to find out what the best airplane was, so we got to work straight away. EYFS and Key Stage One investigated different types of material whilst Key Stage Two used their science knowledge to focus on the design. We all used our science skills to plan our investigations and design our planes.

There have been many practice sessions and test runs held on the playground during the last two weeks and we have all reported back to Bear with our findings. We were very good at explaining our scientific knowledge to him. Good luck Bear, we hope you win!
