Year 5 Time Travelled to Ancient Greece!
Year 5 absolutely enjoyed learning about Ancient Greece! We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do our Year 5 Assembly on our learning of Ancient Greece! We particularly enjoyed learning about the different gods and goddesses, as well as the architecture used by Ancient Greeks. One of our tasks was to design a temple, dedicated to our favourite Greek god / goddess. We made sure that we labelled the type of columns used to show our understanding of Ancient Greek 
architecture.
Physics in Year 5!

Physics in Year 5!
In Science (Physics), we explored how forces affect objects. In one of our lessons, we looked closely at the scientific enquiry: Does the shape of an object affect the time it takes to fall through water? To explore this enquiry, we first learned that water resistant is a friction force on objects moving through water. We conducted an experiment with three objects of different shapes to see which travelled the fastest through water. The only variable that changed was the shape of the object - the mass of the objects and the distance we dropped them from were the same in order to make it a fair test.
 
Ask us what our findings were? We’d be pleased to tell you as young scientists!

Year 5 Evaluates Digital Content!

In Computing last term, we developed our knowledge on evaluating content so that we get better at digital literacy. We did this through exploring self images that represented identity, which all involved image manipulation and enhancement. In pairs, we looked at a range of images that had been altered, and identified areas within the image that alteration / manipulation had been used.

Cultural Traditions in Art!

Cultural Traditions in Art!

This term in Art, we explored our theme 'Cultural Tradition's in Art'. We looked at a variety of Folk Art and were very much inspired by Richard Kimbo, who we learned was an oustanding folk artist from Kenya. Using our inspiration from exploring Kimbo's batiks, we developed our knowledge on Media and Materials, so that we get better at Mastering Practical Skills! We did so by using mixed textures and combined visual and tactile qualities to create an interesting collage inspired by Kimbo.

Y5 Astronomers!

This term in Science, we developed our knowledge on Earth and Space so that we can get better at Physics. As young astronomers, we learned about the different planets in our solar system that orbits the sun. We learned interesting key facts about each planet, which made us realise just how unique each planet is! Do ask us about which of the planets is our favourite and why!
Tech for Gen AI

Tech for Gen AI

Year 4, 5 and 6 were very lucky to have a fascinating insight into the technology behind generative AI and what that might mean for careers in the future and the jobs that the children could choose to do.

We had an assembly discussing what AI was and how it has developed before having some career discussions in class where we got to talk to some UBS employees about how they use and create AI in their work. We got to quiz them about how they had chosen their career and what educational goals they had accomplished in order to work in AI as well as which skills they felt were the most useful in their jobs. We wondered which of us will be developing and running AI in 20 years time and what jobs there might be that we don't even know about yet?!
