Year 5
Forces
While studying forces, Year 5 have been investigating the effects of air resistance. We tried different sized parachutes to see which one took the longest to fall to the ground and therefore air resistance had the greatest effect. Have a look at our videos.
Little Investigators
"We learnt about the build environment and looked at different landmarks in our area. I enjoyed being creative and learning how to build the 3D structures." - Yuliyan 5B
Geography
In Geography, we have been learning about how people can reduce the chance of a drought in California. We learnt about California's climate and how drought has affected people there. We also learnt about how the water supply has been improved through the use of reservoirs and aqueducts to enable water to be transported from the north (where there is more rainfall) to the south (where it is needed by farmers).
Mosque Visit
Year 5 had an amazing morning, visiting the Ponders end Mosque. The children were ready with all their questions about Islam. It was a pleasure to watch the children show such respect in the Mosque and to the Imam.
DT - Break Making
As part of our D&T topic this half-term, Year 5 have been making bread. They had lots of fun making the dough, waiting for it to prove, knocking it back, then waiting for the fabulous results once their bread rolls were baked. Download the recipe below for easy step-by-step instructions for something you could also make at home.
