We learnt about Nelson Mandela’s ‘long walk to freedom’ and how he suffered 27 long, cold, miserable years in prison but finally got his well-earned freedom. We also learnt how in Russia it can get down to -49 degrees! Russia has many climates including grassland, polar deserts, deciduous forest, conifer forest, tundra and alpine. As well as that we are learning to design and make self-powered boats in D&T using a force called upthrust and an energy called potential and kinetic energy. This week has been so fun!
