We launched our new Big Question this week: Rainforests - essential or desirable? We began our launch by getting to know the trees in our school environment - we used all our senses to explore them and even located our tree by feel only whilst being blindfolded! One of the reasons we decided trees were essential was because of their importance in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere so our second task was to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide stored in our tree to work out just how useful it was to us at our school.

School Linking Trip to Burnley Youth Theatre
Date: 28th Mar 2022 @ 8:34pm
We have had a fabulous drama day at Burnley Youth Theatre with our linking school Yealand C of E Primary School. Our day consisted of drama games, forming a group drama piece which involved freeze frames and actions and then showcasing our work in the theatre. The theme of diversity, working together and participating were threaded through all our activities and I know Year 5 left feeling they had made new friends and are already looking forward to meeting Yealand again in the summer term.

In Science today we investigated the usefulness of friction in every day by completing a jelly challenge - can you move all the jelly cubes from one plate to another using chopsticks? Repeat the task but this time the jelly cubes are covered in oil! We then used our findings to design new walking boots for Bear Grylls to assist him in walking up an icy mountain.

We really enjoyed our visit this afternoon from Christine who talked to us about what animals need to stay healthy.

I hope the children enjoy reading their leaflets that Christine brought along.

World Book Day 2022 gave Year 5 a chance to focus on a book from another country. We are reading The Fastest Boy in the World by Elizabeth Laird. It is set in Ethiopia and is enabling us to find out about life in another country and compare it with our own. We can't believe what the main character has just found out about his Grandad!
Here we are dressed in the colours of the Ethiopian flag or as our favourite book characters.

Our Big Question Launch morning
Date: 22nd Feb 2022 @ 8:58pm
We have had a fabulous morning launching our new BIG QUESTION: 'To Invent Or Not To Invent - That Is The Question.' We played the first known organised ball game invented by the Mayans, which was unbelievably tricky, and debated inventions that have had positive and negative outcomes. Our morning was rounded up by us becoming inventors and trying to solve a real-world problem for the farmers of Nepal called The Squashed Tomato Challenge.
