This week in Year 5, we have enjoyed learning through exploration and investigations. In Science, we are focusing on the force of Air Resistance and pupils worked in groups to create a parachute for an egg, varying the size and material of the parachute. They used bin bags, paper plates, balloons, materials and paper. They were able to predict which parachute would protect the egg after being dropped from a high point in the playground and record their observations. In Computing, the pupils were introduced to a new unit- working with Crumble controllers. They managed to create a simple circuit and connect it to a microcontroller and program a microcontroller to make an LED switch on. In PSHE, pupils were able to create a digital powerpoint presentation on ways in which we can protect the environment. Not only was this a chance to improve on their digital literacy skills but revise various ways in which our habits are harmful to the environment and what we can do as a collective in the community to help. We have enjoyed learning about what life was like in the Stone Age. We enjoyed learning about Skara Brae and writing a persuasive brochure about it. We enjoyed using different materials to create cave paintings. We have enjoyed using resources in maths. We liked cutting and making our apple chutney.
We had an exciting week this week! In English we have been learning about police officers and their vehicles. We learnt that police officers do many things as part of their job such as investigate crime, attend emergencies and help teach children how to keep safe.  We were excited to meet two Essex Police Office when they came to visit us at our school. We had lots of fun when the officers let us wear some of their uniform. They also bought their police car along and let us sit in their car. The officers explained to us about the blue lights and sirens. It was amazing when they let us turn on the blue lights and siren. |
