Today in Year 5 Pine we had a live computing lesson in which we had to follow along from the screen to create a conkers game using coding.

In Year 5 Juniper, we have been learning about different states of matter and what would be the best way to separate mixtures into pure substances.

Well done to the boys that played so well and won against 9 schools! Fantastic win, well done! Another well done for our 2 volunteer managers too who led the boys to victory. 👏
This afternoon Pine have been carrying out a separating investigation. We used our knowledge of filtering and sieving to separate our river water back into pure substances. We used lots of equipment: filter paper, funnels, beakers, sieves. We discussed our ideas and planned our method. We finished with some fantastic results and made suggestions as to what went well and what we could improve in the investigation in the future.
We loved visiting the church and learning everything about Harvest time and why we may celebrate this. We did lots of activities such as clay pot making, paper boat origami, bread tasting and more!
