5S Study Sikhism

18th October 2024Mr Schofield

For our R.E. learning, we focused on religious festivals. Specifically, we looked at the Sikh festival of Bandi Chhor Divas.

We learnt about how it is celebrated in India, and what specific ways British families recognise the occassion.

We then told the story of the festival in groups by creating posters and storyboards.

Well done!

5S investigating air resistance

15th October 2024Mr Schofield

5S investigated the effect of air resistance on large sheets of card by running with them held in different positions. Interestingly, we found that the card has more air to move aside when held up, meaning we were not able to run quickly. If we held the card on it’s side, the effect of air resistance was reduced and we could run faster.

We discussed some real life examples such as bicycle helmets and clothing, formula one cars and parachutes and described the advantages of streamlined design.

5S analyse the features of non-chronological reports

11th October 2024Mr Schofield

5S have worked brilliantly in pairs this morning to analyse the features of an expedition-related text which takes the form of a non-chronoligical report.

We read the text together then identified the features and their purpose, before sharing our ideas as a class.
