This week we have been doing lots of investigations. Our first experiment was to investigate how the level of water in a glass affects the sound made when tapping the glass with a pencil. We filled the glasses with different amounts of water and we had to find out how full the glass must be to make a high pitched sound or low pitched sound. Our second experiment we went on a sound walk and Read more
We have been learning about Jack and the Beanstalk this week. We have done lots of different activities and we have been practising retelling the story. Yesterday, we went into the immersive room and the story came to left for us! We were able to see the story and retell it with Miss Longmire.

This week, we have been learning about Jack and the Beanstalk. Whilst we have been learning about the story, we have also been learning about planting and growing. We have carefully planted a beanstalk bean with cotton wool so we can watch it grow. Everyday we have come into school and checked our beans to see if there are any changes. We have also been busy planting beanstalks in pots with castles and grass heads. Read more
As part of British Science Week and our new topic ‘Playlist’, the children have been investigating pitch. The children carried out an experiment to find out if different amounts of water in glasses made different sounds. Some made high pitched sounds and some made lower pitched sounds…but how did the amount of water in them affect the pitch? We came to the conclusion that a glass with a lower amount of water in it will Read more
This afternoon, Year 5 have independently researched some of the cures that medieval doctors used to cure the Black Death. We compared their methods to the work of doctors and scientists today and realised how much we have progressed! We then explored the properties of herbs and wrote some fantastic information texts. Finally, we worked in pairs to create our own herbal remedies.
This morning we have had lots of fun planting our silly face grass heads. First we scooped the soil into the pots with our faces on. Then we sprinkled grass seeds onto the soil and watered them.
We talked about the importance of hand washing today. Some adults and children used paint to represent germs because they ‘hadn’t washed their hands’. We played a clap and high 5 game where each child ended up with some blue paint on their hands. This showed how much the germs spread and how quickly it spread. In the end we all had blue hands! We learnt how to wash our hands properly using the NHS Read more
