Science

Most plants begin life beneath the ground.  They grow from seeds, which drop into the soil.  There is a way you can see what happens out of sight under ground. A bean is the seed of a plant.  You can grow it in a glass jar, where you can see it clearly…     Why not investigate how the roots grow?

We would also love to see any other plants/ vegetables that you have spent time growing so far this summer 

Clay faces in the woods

 

For their art unit, Year 5 became sculptors and created clay faces based on Santa Claus in the Springwood woodland area. They used pictures to draw and design features associated with Santa such as; bushy hair, a friendly smile and jolly eyes. These designs were modelled into clay and stuck onto trees using slip. 

Once completed, the faces were embellished using natural items.

This term, during their space unit, Year 5 were treated to the opportunity to visit the Explorer dome twice. 

The second of which was during our 'Star Party', where children and their parents came back to school to explore different aspects of space. These included; making constellations with spaghetti, drawing planets using chalk pastels, space crafts and fact hunting. Explorer dome provided a quick guide to the galaxy inside the dome before giving some top tips to carry on star gazing at home.
