Term 6 Week 6 12.7.24
In English, we have continued with our book ‘100-Mile-an-Hour Dog, Going for Gold’. We have been looking at shape poems; the children researched about of breed of dog of their choice and then planned and wrote a shape poem for them.
In Maths, Year 5 have continued to look at converting measurements. This week, it has been converting measurements of time and reading timetables. The children had to look at simple timetables and timetables with 2 or more rows and columns. Year 6 has been looking at Maths in real life; looking at jobs, pay and what it means to pay taxes and national insurance. Year 6 then had to find out which career earns the most a month.
In Science, we experimented with wind turbines. We investigated what makes a good wind turbine and then predicted what would happen if we made the turbines out of other materials. We also learnt how wind turbines, that generate electricity, work.
In RE, we have looked at charity and why religions give to charity. The children created some lovely posters to show why giving to charity means so much to everyone.
In PE this week, the children took part in a ‘mini-Olympics' with Cherry and Rowan to have some friendly competition between classes and to support our Olympic topic this term.
The children have been designing logos for either the Olympics or The EUROS 24 ready to print on our 3D printer before the end of term.
