This week, Year 5 have been testing water resistance with an experiment using boats and fans. We timed how quickly they travelled across the water.
Science
We used various materials to build parachutes, to test air resistance. We timed how long it took to hit the floor, knowing that the longer it took to fall, the better the parachute would be.
PHSE
During our PHSE lesson focussing on resilience, we worked together on building the tallest Lego tower. Amazingly, two of our towers were both the same height, measuring 65cm!
Explorer Day 2023!
Explorer Day has been a fantastic experience for us all. We discussed the country we had chosen to visit and what we might find in that country. We also had a food testing session, where we described the texture, smell and, of course, taste of some foods from South America.
As a class, we have also enjoyed some Team Building activities working together.
As part of our Guided Reading sessions, we have been studying the poem, 'There's a 'Rangtan in my Bedroom'. At the end of the week, we performed to an audience.
During Science, we used Newton Meters and weighing scales to investigate the link between mass and weight.
