Year 5 giving compliments for World Mental Health Day
Year 5 wrote compliments for year 6 and made their day when we handed them out!
Year 3 – Space Week
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed Space Week. We have been learning about what it is like to live in space. We have watched videos from the ISS and looked at how they carry out every day activities such as; brushing their teeth, eating their breakfast and even how they go to the toilet! The children have been very enthusiastic and asked lots of great questions.
We then looked at the extreme temperatures that astronauts are exposed to and how their suits protect them. We investigated which material is best to keep ice cool for the longest period of time in order to conclude which material would be best to use for an astronaut suit.
Year 5 separating in science
In our ‘changing materials’ topic we moved onto separating materials using evaporation, sieves, magnets and filter paper. We investigated how to separate salt and water, rice and sand and rice and paper clips-we had a great time!
Year 5 Science Week…
Today we looked at gravity and it’s effect on astronauts. We looked at how long it took different objects to fall and recorded our results. We then looked at Galileo and his experiment-we had a great time!
