This week we have had lots of fun for British Science week. We have worked together to make a wormery, we discussed a worms habitat and then went into Kayden’s garden to search for worms. We were looking for three different types of worms – Earthworms (endogeic worms), Deep borrowers ( anecic worms) and Surface Dwellers (epigeic worms). Luckily it was raining so a lot of worms had come to the surface of the soil. Read more
This week in Forest School, Year 5 have focused their learning on British Science Week. The theme for British Science Week has been ‘Growth’. We discussed how growth is all around us and everyone took part in some exciting science activities. We talked about how the population is growing and how people who work in construction are continually building to deal with this. The children worked together using natural resources to build their own towers. Read more
Today we have dressed up as our favourite superheroes to raise money for Red Nose Day. We have been able to buy our own red noses and the money is donated to the charity to try and end child poverty. In our P.E lesson we danced as our favourite superheroes and used our super speed to move around the hall.
This week we have talked about what a scientist is and what we think they look like. We created our own pictures of what we thought a scientist might look like and showed our pictures to our friends. During forest school we did our very own science experiment and used paper to see the different patterns the trees outside made. Each tree had a different texture which made the patterns different. We hope to do Read more
This week, we wrote and send letters off for the children of Ukraine to show our love and support to them during this difficult time. We also planted some sunflowers (the national flower of Ukraine) Here are some pictures of our work
This morning in forest school the children used crayons and paper to take rubbings from different trees. They looked closely at the different patterns and textures. Then the children planted the national flower of Ukraine (a sunflower) in support of Ukrainian people at such a hard time. The children came up with prayers to write on lollipop sticks to put in the soil with their seeds.
We have been redesigning some of our favourite book covers. How impressive are our drawings?!
During our Design and Technology lesson, we tried a range of biscuits, discussing the taste, smell, texture, appearance and packaging, We then made some of our own buttery biscuits. Yum!
Today we discussed what is happening in Ukraine . We watched a Newsround clip and discussed how we feel about the news. We talked about what we can do if we ever feel upset about what we see on the news like speaking to an adult about our feelings or doing an activity that makes us happy. We then wrote some letters to the children in Ukraine in the hope that our positive words can Read more
This week we had lots of fun for British Science week exploring the topic of ‘Growth’. We created a wormy together and discussed the different features of a worm’s habitat. We then went into Kaden’s garden to search for worm’s. We were looking for Earthworms, Deep burrowers and Surface worms. All of the children were very brave and careful picking up worms. When we got back into class we looked at the different types of Read more
