5E were tasked with building their own machines to transport water from the River Nile to land. Using inspiration from the shadufs used in Egypt, we explored the use of levers, pivots and counterweights. Ingenuity and interdependence was shown by everyone, producing some really unique devices. Amazing work and effort 5E!

In Science, we are investigating the choices of predators on prey population. Each morning, we will be ‘worm watching’ to see whether the birds around our school prefer red or yellow worms (dyed spaghetti) and we’ll then think about the implications of our findings for other species. Will the birds go for yellow or […]

Year 5 had a great time today creating and testing parachutes in Science. We were exploring the relationship between the surface area of the parachute and how quickly the parachute falls and why. We linked our findings to how air resistance pushes against the parachute.
