Science investigations

Aderyn Du have carried out some air resistance science investigations as part of our Mantle work. We tested how far a piece of paper travels depending on the different shape. We discussed the different variables that affect how far it can travel. We also investigated how fast different items drop from a certain height. We found out that items that are streamline and heavier fall faster.

Electrical Circuits

As part of our Mantle this term, Aderyn Du have been exploring how to make circuits, and what is needed to make a light bulb work. We are then going to use this knowledge to create a video for our ‘Curiosity Channel.’

Maths outdoor learning

In maths, year 5 and 6 were finding the area of shapes. We went outside to collect different shaped leaves. We drew a square or rectangle inside the shape and calculated the area. We then estimated the area of the remaining part of the leaf and added them together to estimate the total area.

Forest School

Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.

Y5/6 STEM Day

Year 5 and 6 had a visit from the RAF museum, where they had a go at creating their own rockets. They had to think about their design to see which one would travel the longest distance. We went on to the field to launch the rockets by pumping up pressure into their launching machine. The second activity was following instructions to make a hopper using the lego spike resources. We had a great morning!

Judo

Jasmine from Team Wales came into school to do some Judo with KS2. We talked about her career and the competitions she has taken part in and then we had a go at Judo ourselves. We had great fun and enjoyed learning new Judo moves.
