Year 5 DT - Baking Tudor Cheese Pies!
In DT we have been learning food technology. We planned and designed our cheese pies and then had great fun making and baking them! We also enjoyed eating the pies, they were very delicious.
Year 5 P.E. Hockey Skills: Push Passing Practice
In P.E. Year 5 have been learning Hockey skills. This week we practised the newly learnt skill of push passing, and enjoyed passing and receiving the ball.
Year 5 Science - Investigating Friction
In Science, Year 5 are looking at different forces each week. This week we have investigated friction, and whether weight affects the amount of friction. We used the slippy hall floor to slide trays - increasing the amount of weight each time and then measuring how far the tray slid. We discovered that weight does affect friction, as the heavier trays did not slide as far.
Drama Club Fun - Face Painting to Create Characters
In Drama Club we are creating our own characters for a play, so we learnt how to paint our faces to create different weird and wonderful characters! It was a lot of fun!
Year 5 R.E. Connecting British Values, our School Values, and the Values that Jesus Taught
In R.E. this week we have thought about the values taught to Christians by Jesus. We compared these values to our school values, and to the British Values. We made connections between these values and realised how they are very similar, learning that society follows the values which Jesus taught.
Year 5 Science: Water Resistance
In Science, Year 5 have been learning about water resistance, connecting this force to air resistance. We created shapes from plasticine and tried to make some more aerodynamic than others. We then timed how long it took for these shapes to drop into the water, understanding that the least surface area, more streamlined shapes dropped faster as there was less water resistance.
Year 5 Maths: Finding Fractions of an Amount
In Maths we are learning how to find a fraction of an amount using counters. It's helping us to visualise the problems!
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!
Wake Up Wednesday - Health and Fitness Apps
Over time, more and more fitness apps have been finding their way into circulation. Usually free to download – at least initially – these apps claim to offer helpful advice and assistance in routine management to those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. While these platforms can be useful, they do present several safety concerns. These issues become more significant when we consider that children and young people can use these apps to stay active – whether out of concern for their own health or for reasons of body image. Our free guide breaks down the risks of health and fitness apps and offers expert advice on how to address these concerns to safeguard younger users.
