Writing Scavengers!

Today, we have been quickly scavenging the classroom to find features of our writing genre – a Non Chronological Report! There were lots of red herrings too but after lots of discussion we were able to consolidate the features of this writing. Soon the children are going to be writing a report about a ‘newly discovered planet’ using their Science knowledge from their expeditionary learning. Watch this space!

Experimenting in Year 5

This afternoon, we are having a very messy, but fantastic time, trying to turn our muddy water (kindly made at lunchtime by Regan and Mathew) clear again! There are all kinds of interesting ideas about how to make the water clear again! I wonder which ones will work? #LovePlover

We are scientists!

Today, we had three minutes to prepare a quick demonstration of the difference between orbit and rotates in order to explain how the planets moved. We then had to deepen our knowledge by reading a part of an explanation text and feeding back to our group the main points of what we had read.

We can round numbers!

Rounding numbers to the nearest 10,000 has been great fun. We are becoming more confident day by day and this activity really proved that we can be successful. Everyone rounded accurately by the end of our starter and pride was felt by all. Well done guys!
