Science Week
We researched Tim Peake, who is famous for spaceflight. Tim was the first British ESA astronaut to visit the International Space Station, launching on a Soyuz rocket on 15 December 2015 with crewmates Tim Kopra and Yuri Malenchenko. His Principia mission was an eventful and busy six months in space. Tim Peakes full title is 'Major Timothy Nigel', he is a British Army Air Corps officer, European Space Agency astronaut and a former International Space Station crew member. We also, watched videos of him being interviewed whilst in space and we learnt about the ISS.

As part of this week we made a pledge to recycle paper and be as paperless as possible.
Our Pledge
In Year Five we are going to be careful with our use of paper and be as ‘paperless’ as possible.
Our Reasons
- Recycling paper reduces the demand for trees to be cut down.
- Trees contribute to our environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife.
- During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe.
- Recycling paper helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change.
- It takes 70% less energy and water to recycle paper than to create new paper from trees.
