ROBIN HOOD
Robin Hood is the most famous person in Nottingham ever.
Robin Hood was a heroic outlaw in English folklore.
He was a good archer and swordsman.
He wore Lincoln green clothes and had a feather in his hat.
Robin lived around a large oak tree in Sherwood forest named’ the major oak’.
Robin Hood was an outlaw of Nottingham.
He was always being chased by the sheriff of Nottingham.
Robin died because of an evil nun who was pretending to look after him but left the wounds to bleed then he weakened and died. However still, wherever you go in the World, people will associate Robin Hood with Nottingham.
The Windmill
In 1807 Mr. Green bought a plot of land to build a small post mill.
After he had his mill in a good working condition, he built a small house with his son George. Old Mr Green died in 1829 leaving the mill to his son, George.
George’s health failed and he died in Sneinton in the year 1841. He was buried at St Stephens’s church near his mill. The mill was still in use in the 1860’s until it was destroyed by a blazing fire in 1947. It was rebuilt shortly after and reopened on the 2nd of December 1986. It is still a working mill today and it sits proudly on its hill by Sneinton Dale.
River Trent
The Trent is one of the major rivers in England.
It runs through Nottingham, Staffordshire and Humber Estuary

A Class 6 Shadows Investigation
Despite the weather we have been having recently, class 6 managed to (briefly) go outside to conduct a shadows investigation as part of their science work. We wrote up the investigation as a class, and the children decided on the following words;
What we used;
Chalk, sun, tape measure, person.
What we did;
First we measured the height of the person who would be making the shadow. We asked the person to stand on a dry peice of playground to see the shadow clearer. We traced the shadow of the person with chalk. Next we measured the shadow from head to toe. Finally we wrote down the time of the shadow.
What we saw;
Time Length of Shadow
11am 102cm
12pm 92cm
1pm 87cm
(The height of the person was measured at 127cm)
What we learnt;
What did we learn about the length of shadows at different times of the day? Why do you think this happens? What causes it? Write your thoughts below as a comment on this post...
