We are proud of their creativity and grit and determination.

Year 5 Science

Year 5 investigated the effects of water resistance today.

They created different plasticine shapes and timed how long they took to reach the bottom of the beaker.

They thought about what made a fair test and ensured only one variable changed.

Year 5 Music

Year 5 have enjoyed learning guitar this term. They were able to build on their learning from last year and learn new chords and perform different songs.

Year 5 Science

Year 5 explored air resistance today and investigated which paper spinner fell the slowest.

They had to think about what a fair test was and record their results accurately.

Everyone had lots of fun!
