Year 4/5/6 Homework
Reindeer Run
We raised a fantastic £61 for St. Michael’s Hospice. Well done to everyone! Da iawn!
Christmas
Aderyn Du decorated biscuits into melting snowman.
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.’

Mathemateg
Maths in the last week of the summer term? Absolutely! But with a twist.
Use the given digits to create a division to solve using long division. If your answer is correct and meets the criteria you can sit out of the next calculation and play Uno instead! Some of the criteria: the largest answer, and even answer, a remainder that can be simplified, an even second digit etc!
Ein Cartref / Our Home
As part of our community-based art project, we worked with Ciara and Izzy from Old School Arts to create a mural of birds flying over Knighton. Every learner in the school was involved in the project, from painting the mural to creating their own bird. This project followed our work from Refugee Week and the theme of ‘Community as a Superpower’ and that together we are strong, creative and make things happen.
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.
