Year 5 have been ‘tinkering’ in DT to discover the best materials and design for a parachute. Watch this space on Monday as they will be using their designs to parachute an egg safely to the ground!

Year 5 have been recreating the different types of tectonic plate boundaries and movements using biscuits for plates and icing for magma. In this way, they were able to demonstrate the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Welcome to 5D! Excellent first day yesterday, such well-behaved children! Had our first practical science lesson today where we tested the properties of different materials. Ask your child what they tested and what they learnt about that material 😀🤞

It was all ‘business’ in Year 5 today as the children took part in the final part of the mini enterprise challenge. The children
took on job roles to run eight separate businesses, each making and selling Easter egg hunt kits. Which team made the most profit? Find out Friday!

Amazing visit this morning from Wonderdome for Year 5! The children entered a huge inflatable planetarium and got a totally new perspective on our galaxy. They asked really interesting questions and learnt lots of new facts. Fab way to end our topic! #wonderdome photos soon!

We are truly blown away by the amount and the quality of homework from Year 5 at the start of this new term. It is absolutely lava-ly (sorry!)

Our first Science lesson this year! 5D explored the properties of materials and the vocabulary needed to accurately describe materials. Lots of feels bags and practical testing!

5D have loved programming the Kubos robots to make their way through the Minotaur labyrinths. They also learnt how to debug programs when Kubos got trapped.
