Wheels Day! - Science

Year 5 have had a fantastic day learning about friction, gravity and air resistance as part of wheels day! The children enjoyed experimenting with their own sets of wheels and were all very well behaved!

Super Science - Friction

Today we have investigated the effect friction has on moving objects. Is jelly harder to pick up with chopsticks if it is covered in oil (when there is less friction)?

Who has the stickiest shoe? Which shoe has the most frictional force acting on it?

Fantastic Fractions - Maths

NSPCC Number Day - Maths

Poplar have been measuring each other's height as part of a challenge to find out the total height of the class!

All set for NSPCC Number day!

Grippiest shoe competition! - Science

This afternoon, Poplar carried out a competition to find out who has the grippiest shoe! This was part of our Science learning for this half term, and we were discussing how friction works. The children had great fun and Izzy's shoe was the grippiest! We also looked at the difference in friction of jelly when we added olive oil!

Dreams and Goals - PSHCE

Working together to rank professions from most important to least important. The children had to listen to each other's opinions and justify their choices.

Fantastic Poetry- Who am I?

Creative Writing - English/Literacy

We have been working together to brainstorm ideas based on pictures from the book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.
