Antarctica Year 5

Welcome to the Antarctica Year 5 Class Page.  Here, you can find out about everything that we've been doing this term.

Friday 17th January

What a great week we have had! This week, as part of our personal growth curriculum, we had a visit from Sarah, who is a social worker. She told us that her job is really difficult, but that she loves it! She helps people who are struggling and her favourite part of her job is coming into schools. We got to ask her lots of interesting things about her job, and found out that she has worked there for 4 years. She goes to court and helps to make big decisions – it sounds like a really interesting job!

On Friday, we got the Newton metres out and began investigating the force of gravity on different items. We even thought about the moon’s gravity – which is 6 times less than on Earth! The children are such super scientists, they should be so proud!

Have a fantastic weekend,

Welcome back! The children have made an amazing start to the New Year, and have worked incredibly hard. We are so proud of them.
In DT this half term, we are focussing on woodwork. On Thursday morning, we had our first go at using tools such as a saw and sandpaper. The children have made a magnetic note holder this week, and they are going to make some more amazing products this half term! Mr Saddington was very impressed with how well the children worked with these new tools, they were very sensible and made sure to stay safe. Keep it up! I can't wait to see which other great products they design and make.
Have a fantastic weekend!
