Spring Term 2025
We have been learning about the Amazon Rainforest this term and had a visit from Spirit of the Wild. We had a great time learning about the animals and how some of them have adapted to life in the rainforest.
Autumn Term 2024
Year 5 have been working very hard this term. In Science, our first topic of the year was 'Forces' and we made parachutes to test whether or not the surface area of the parachute affected the time it took for the parachute to reach the ground.
End of the first term
December 2022
We have had a very busy first term in year 5. Our science topic this term has been 'Properties and Changes of Materials' We began the topic by testing the properties of a range of different materials. We tested to see whether they were opaque, transparent, magnetic, absorbant and flexible.
Our next investigation was looking at conductors and insulators of heat. We tested different materials to see which would be the best to keep the food in our lunchboxes cool.
