Last week, we celebrated Science week. In year 5, we were learning about forces and in particular friction.

The children set up a scientific enquiry to test whether different materials would effect a cars travel down a ramp.

The children asked a question, made a hypothesis, draw a scientific diagram, completed a results table and wrote a conclusion.

They had lots of fun completing the test too!

We have been practising our leaps and jumps in gymnastics. We used the vaults and benches to apply these.

This week in Science, we have been learning about forces. We have looked at air resistance and how this force helps parachutes. We investigated which size parachute would be best… here are some of the children making theirs.

Well done to Archie who won our Star of the Week on Friday.  He has settled in to our class so well and the effort he has put into all his learning has been amazing!

Our reader of the week this week was Aiden R.  Not only has he been reading a  lot at home, he is also using words/phrases from the books he is reading in his writing! Greatwork.

Our friendship award goes to Elise.  She always plays so beautifully on the playground and makes other children feel happy. What a wonderful friend to have!

Well done to you all.
