It was really interesting learning about gravity today. We linked our Science lesson to our work with measurements in Maths by using Newton metres to measure the force of gravity.

We’ve had a great start to the new year! Yesterday, we used scratch paper to create our own space artwork. Today, year 5 and 6 made astrolabes (linked to the book Phoenix); Mr Russell came in and we explored water tension; and this afternoon we made the history of space timelines.

We have had lots of fun this week. We played musical statues, flip the kipper and wrap the snowman. We also decorated some biscuits! YUM! YUM!

We used our computing, maths, DT and problem solving skills this morning. Santa needed our help: he needed us to design a sleigh to fit around a sphero that would carry the most amount of presents possible.

We really enjoyed listening to Christmas music today while sewing our Christmas tree decorations.

The whole school had a great time watching a production of Wind in the Willows performed by students at Kendal Media College. We loved Mr Toad, who was really funny!

For our topic, we made some papyrus paper. We cut some brown paper into strips then weaved them horizontally then glued. We all got really messy but had lots of fun!!

We are about to start our last week of preparation for our production of Hoodwinked. We are so excited and can’t wait perform in just over a week!

We are so proud of our sewn poppies! We cut two poppy shapes from felt, sewed them together and sewed a button on, used a blanket stitch around the outside and then we finally added some black diamante.

In maths, we were estimating capacity and then measuring it using scales.
