In ICT this term we are trying to improve our typing skills so that we get quicker at producing pieces of work.  We have been using some touch typing games to help us which are great fun.  Why don’t you have a go?  We especially like Typing Adventure and Home Keys Kenny.

We have been creating some simple circuits and found out how to draw these using the correct symbols.  We have managed to make a bulb light up, a motor spin round and a buzzer buzz!

We will be learning about electricity this term and at the start of our topic we had a think about what we would like to learn.  Here are our thoughts:

What we want to learn about electricity in P5

• What is electricity?
• How does it work?
• How does it make things work?
• How does it get from the plug into things?
• Where does it come from?
• What does it look like?
• How does it move?
• Safety and being electrocuted?
• How does a switch start/stop the electricity?
• How much electricity is in things?
• Electromagnets?
• How do pylons work?
• How is it so fast?
• Who made electricity?
• When was electricity discovered?

Check out some the outdoor fun we have been having the last couple of months!  A huge thank you to everyone who has donated time/items for our ELCC garden. We are still looking for more items and volunteers!

We had to design our own magnetic game so that a character had to move throughout the maze with blocks and stops.  We then analysed how well our own game worked and evaluated other games.
