We learned lots about the U.S. during our latest Skype call with 2nd Grade in Narrangansett, Rhode Island. We shared our questions with each other on Twitter so that we could prepare our answers. Here are the questions!

Ours: http://padlet.com/NiamhDG/dkn2t9g3vk8g
Theirs: http://padlet.com/mccallig/1q2xmoaogd7o

We found the answers very interesting. Our Skype buddies even sang us a Spanish song!

We used a trundle wheel to measure which paper aeroplane travelled the furthest distance. We recorded our results on a bar chart. See the Forces page for more!

With the creation of these wonderful comic strips that retell the story of the Apollo 13 mission, our solar system project must come to an end! It is great to see so many children taking an interest at home! Have a look at the Solar System page to read about what we learned during our project!

We have been learning all about gravity. We made marble runs for Science Week! We knew gravity would pull the marble towards the ground, but we experimented with the paths we could force the marble to take. See the Forces pages for more photos!
