 Swimming - Wednesdays

This term our enquiry is: How we can defend our Island?

We will be exploring this question by looking at what happened to Britain in WW2.

 LOTC

We had a great time in our first LOTC session of the term. We received a letter from Colonel Custard, who was having trouble sleeping on the frontline as he was missing his teddy bear. We used our mapping skills to 'drop' the bear and then camouflaged it, so that the colonel could find it.

DT

We used our knowledge of pulleys (from Science) to complete our Earth Day challenge. To create a system to help farmers in Nepal transport their tomatoes down the mountain to market.

Enquiry

On Thursday April 20th, 5L visited the Norfolk Records Office to start our new enquiry about WW2.  We enjoyed finding out about what had happened during the war in our local area. Investigating historical artefacts and working out where to place evacuees who arrived in a town in Norfolk.

This term our enquiry question is: How will our Island be governed?

We will be learning about democracy and the monarchy.

Science

In spring 2, we are learning about forces.

Exploring levers.

Learning about air resistance.

Exploring friction.

Spring 1

In science, we have been learning about space.

We made the planets to scale out of plasticine.

We investigated the formation of craters on the moon.

World Book Day

We enjoyed dressing up in our Book Day outfits.

In the Autumn term we have created our class island.

We have named our Island FiveLand. Next term, we are going to think about how our island will be governed.
