William Davis film is from 15 minutes in. In Year 6 we have been researching healthy starters and made bruschetta with roasted peppers, feta cheese, garlic and parsley on toasted ciabatta bread. We learnt how to chop our ingredients safely and crush the garlic cloves. Luckily we got to take a sample home to eat too-delicious! We can't wait until the main course next week -vegetable pasta! The children have been collaborating and researching the characteristics of invertebrates and vertebrates. They have used a range of websites to collate the information about different animals and then used a Matrix table to establish the similarities and differences in characteristics. 'Year 5 were revisiting the science topic of 'materials.' We were carrying out an investigation to test the 'solubility' of substances - how well a solute dissolves in a solvent. We had to make predictions, think about how to make our investigation 'fair' and evaluate the results. We were also learning lots of new science vocabulary.' Year 5 completed their school councillor election day. All the candidates put in a big effort when delivering their speeches. The remaining children gave some great feedback and voted in Muna and Mahdiya. Well done everybody. The children in Year 5 loved taking part in the cricket workshop run by Middlesex County Cricket Club. The children practiced their catching and fielding skills. They also worked as a team and realised the importance of effective communication when participating in competitive sport. Y5 were visiting Spitalfields City Farm to learn about about plants, which is part of our science topic of life cycles. We learnt about the different types of plants, how they reproduce and grow. In addition to flowering plants, we saw runner plants, tubers and plants with bulbs. We created our own recycled plant pots and planted some spinach to take home with us. As no farm visit would be complete without seeing the lovely animals, we also had a chance to see the resident sheep, goats, pigs and donkeys 'In Science, year 5 are learning about life cycles of plants. We were investigating what the different parts of a plant are called, which are part of the plant's reproduction cycle and what happens at each stage of this cycle. We also created our own glossaries to help us broaden our science vocabulary. Year 5 have made a great start to Daily Mile challenge. They have built up slowly and gradually and are now ready to begin completing a full mile. Well Done Year 5. Keep it up! |
