This week the children have carried out two investigations. The first was designing and making an air resistant costume. Racing in our costumes and recording the times without and with our costume. Our second investigation was: making a paper helicopter and recording how fast it fell and then observing the changes when we changed the variables. ### Learning About Forces in Science (2022) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20-%20Copy.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20-%20Copy.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20(1)%20-%20Copy.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20(1)%20-%20Copy.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20(1).JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D%20(1).JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0448%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0454%5B1%5D%20-%20Copy.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0454%5B1%5D%20-%20Copy.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0454%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0454%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0461%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0461%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0468%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0468%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0469%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/gallery/learning-about-forces-in-science-2022/IMG_0469%5B1%5D.JPG) [ Celebrating Diwali (Fledglings)](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/blog/2022-11-16-08-48-44-celebrating-diwali-fledglings) [Making Soup (Year 2) ](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/blog/2022-11-21-14-45-00-making-soup-year-2) ![Eastry Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(2).png) #### Eastry Primary School Cook's Lea Eastry Sandwich CT13 0LR 01304 611360 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted) - [Policies](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Attendance](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/attendance) - [Contact Us](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/eastrycofeprimary/directory_personal_details?locale=en_GB) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/eastrycofeprimary/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Eastry Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
