We tested lots of materials yesterday to see which ones were waterproof!
Year 5 had a fantastic time at the science centre yesterday learning all about space as part of our "Space academy" topic. In the morning we took part in a workshop where the children had to make a rocket, fill it with different amounts of water and predict how long it would take from take-off to landing. The winner was the team who got the closest prediction. Well done team Red Dwarf!!
We then visited the planetarium and took a tour of our galaxy, learning lots about how far away each planet is and what they are made up of.
Finally, we had some free, hands-on time to explore some of the 100 exhibits. There was just jot enough time and we want to go back! Thank you to the helpers who made the trip possible.
Nightingales have been working hard at creating our very own set of dragon top trumps, using text and images in Powerpoint.
We looked at a variety of top trumps and picked out the features we liked. We chose our dragon categories and drafted our ideas. We now are in the process of making these on the computers. We can't wait to try them out!
What a great start Owls class have had to their learning journey in Year 5! We have begun using the laptops to create our own space themed games, creating human sentences to help us with our grammar, making sundials to tell the time, using role play and "talk for writing" actions for our writing and much, much more.
