Year 5 Science - Investigating Air Resistance
In Science we are learning about forces, and we investigated gravity and air resistance through making 'parachutes' from difference sized balloons, and timing how long they took to reach the floor. We discovered that the greater the surface area of an item, the greater the air resistance.
Year 5 RE - Why is What Jesus Taught Still Important?
In RE we are learning about Jesus as a teacher. We have read and thought about some of Jesus's parables, and His different teaching methods, such as storytelling and building relationships. We held a class discussion about what He taught was important to people, and the difference He made to people's lives, then and now.
Year 5 DT - Investigating Food Groups
In DT we have been doing Food Technology, and part of this subject is to understand the food groups, and how to eat a healthy balanced diet. We sorted foods into the different food groups, and were surprised to find out that some food like biscuits and cakes were not part of the food groups on the eatwell plate!

Pre-School- Maths- Match, Talk, Push and Pull
In maths this week we have been exploring shapes. We looked at basic 2D shapes and then some 3D shapes looking at what happens if we put them together to make a different shape or could we create a picture or object with them. Children used the 2D shapes to make houses, faces and even dinosaurs while other children used the 3D shapes to make towers or rockets.
Pre-School- Physical Development- Scissor Control
The children used their scissors to cut around the fruit for Handa's Basket. The children learnt how to hold and position their fingers to move the scissors into the paper to cut. Some children made cuts into the fruit and others cut around them to then stick them in their baskets.
