In our Science lessons we have been learning about Earth and space. This week we were focusing on the moon. We made posters about the moon and then we looked at the different phases of the moon. We learned that waxing means getting bigger; waning means getting smaller; a crescent moon is smaller than a half and a gibbous moon is larger than a half. We represented the phases in a tasty way using Jaffa Cakes!
Look at all the work we have been completing at home!
The weekend fitness challenges were to keep a balloon up in the air for 60 seconds and to walk to a landmark, historical place or a favourite local spot.
In Computing, Year 5 have been looking at the Mars Rover. We have learned that the Mars Rover sends data (information) back to Earth in binary code which is a series of 1s and 0s which represent numbers. These numbers can then represent colours or numbers or letters. People on Earth can then send messages or instructions back to the Mars Rover using binary code. We know that there have been several Mars Rovers and each new Rover is an improvement on the one before. We have designed our own Mars Rovers both in school and at home and we are really pleased with our results!
In our History lessons, we have been learning about the Battle of Britain. We drew planes following step-by-step instructions. Some of the children at home shared their fabulous art work with their teacher!
As part of our art lessons in year 6, both in the classroom and as part of remote learning, we researched hat designers and then designed and made our own prototype from paper.
We had great fun making cushions! We used cross stitch, applique and reverse applique to decorate our cushions and sewed them together with a running stitch. Lots of us have made them as surprise Christmas presents!
We had a great time at our party!
We enjoyed our Christmas Party!
