To end our learning about materials last half term, we designed and carried out experiments to test different materials to see how absorbent or waterproof they are.

Well done everyone!
Summer Term 2 - The Big Question
Date: 11th Jun 2023 @ 4:37pm
We are really looking forward to our final half term in Y5. Our Big Question is: What do YOU think?
We are learning about the Ancient Greeks and so it is a perfect time for an introduction to philosophy.
Each week in class we also have a new "THUNK" to help develop our skills of thinking and discussion. The more our brains are exercised, the stronger they become!

Here are some photos of showing some of the things we got up to during Summer Term 1.
Our big question was: Rainforests - essential or desireable.
We began the work by getting to know trees in our grounds. we learnt that if we measured their circumference we could calculate how much carbon they held and how much carbon dioxide they took from the air to help us breathe!
We had lots of fun using stop motion animation to create our own short films.
We also enjoyed working together in groups to design and make a motorised vehicle which we then took to Reception to let them play with.

The club ended with a celebratory visit to UCLan. It was brilliant!

Today, Year 1 had a visit from Life Education, and most importantly, Harold the Giraffe! We learnt about what we can do to keep our bodies healthy, such as exercise, brushing our teeth and drinking water. We also learnt about the five food groups and how much of each group we should eat to have a balanced diet.
We took a look what is inside our bodies, discovering the lungs, ribs, heart, bladder and how food travels through our bodies.
Year 1 had a great session and want to say a massive thank you to Steven and Harold the Giraffe for helping us with our learning today.

Year 1 had great fun this afternoon making their fruit kebabs for their D&T project.
For this topic the children had learnt about healthy eating and balanced diets. The children then designed their fruit kebabs and made an ingredients list, and today they created them from their designs.
The children chose their fruit, learnt cutting skills to make their pieces of fruit the right size for the kebabs and then ate them as a healthy snack.
