  • Science: Forces

    Published 14/10/24, by Aysha Begum

    Forces affect the movement or shape of an object. Gravity and Air resistance are examples of forces. Forces can cause objects to move, and sometimes slow, stop or change the direction of an object's motion.

    Gears, pulleys and leavers are simple mechanisms which allow a small force to be converted into a larger one. Gears are wheels with teeth. When gears are placed next to each other, their teeth slot together (see pictures).  

    'We have learnt that objects that have bigger surfaces will fall slower than objects that have a small surface area. A pulley was used in the olden times to help lift heavy objects' Mustapha

  • Trip to RAF Hornchurch

    Published 14/10/24, by Aysha Begum

    'Today I went to RAF Hornchurch Heritage Centre. We explored different pieces of the Hurricane and Spitfire engines. We also got a chance to try out old-fashioned telephones and see a real life sized Anderson Shelter. We also packed our own suitcases in five minutes, just like some of the evacuees had to do during the war. Finally, we learnt about outdoor toilets and had our own air raid siren drill...it was quite noisy!!' Aila

    ' We had a fantastic time at the RAF Centre! My favourite part was when we packed our suitcases, just like children had to do during the war. We also got to dress up in a real pilot's uniform. We also went inside a replica Anderson Shelter. It gave us an insight into how people survived during the War'  Jannah

  • Keep the Earth Clean and Green!

    Published 22/05/24, by Nafisah Mahmood

    'For our drop-down day, we went to Goodmayes park for a sports session. At the beginning, we warmed up by doing some jumping and running on the spot. Then we did different exercises, such as squats, star jumps and burpes. At the end, we did a race in a pair of two teams. Although it was a draw, it was really fun!' - Hassan H

    'In English, the whole class learnt about how you should save the precious Earth. We made a large poster as a class, highlighting ways to save the Earth. For example, don't waste water, use public transport, reduce your dairy and many more. It was so fun! Make sure you save the environment too!' - Zayd J

There were some amazing swimmers! The water was cold, but I liked it because it was a hot day. We had a short session as it was our first. Getting changed back into our school uniform was a nightmare!' - Inaayah R
