We painted, decorated and finished our models with moving mouths.

A few of us completed our pneumatic burger box models below!

More fantastic finished models to follow!!!

P5/6 have been keeping fit running our daily mile as a Pilgrimage every week.

P5/6A have been extremely lucky to be involved in some super music lessons where they will learn to play an instrument in an up and coming concert.

This week some of us tried out the trombone. Each week a different group will try out a different instrument.

Great photos Charley, our photographer this week.

P5/6 had a fantastic Science workshop led by Mrs Sherard from SERC.

We learned about pneumatic and hydraulics in a practical, fun way. It taught us a lot more about solids, liquids and gases.

 We tested compressing solids, liquids and gasses.

Then we made an tested a simple pneumatic system.

We added water to our system to make a hydraulic system which we had to bleed and test.

Mrs Sherard showed us a model bat whose mouth opened and closed with a simple pneumatic system.

We each got our own materials to design and make our own models.

We had a great time.

These are Mrs Sherard’s examples we will post ours when they are fully designed.

P5/6 have produced some amazing homework based on their Titanic topic.

Bailey and Ryan had a quick draw Titanic lesson to win a prize.

Orla prepared the most amazing Iceberg cupcakes to decorate in class.

Mrs Abraham really enjoyed eating her cake!

We had to put cream icing on top of a lovely homemade cake.

Then we shaped and placed blue icing on top for the sea.

We then used a tool to cut white icing into an iceberg shape to place on top of the sea.

Lovely!!!

P5/6A have been learning about Floating and Sinking.

Firstly we made various shapes from plasticine .

We then made predictions about their abilities to float or sink and then tested these predictions in water.

After testing the shapes we were given, we were then asked to use what we had learned to make a shape that would both float and could carry an object without sinking.

After a few clues and a few sinking shapes we all found at least one shape that would stay afloat while holding an object and we had great fun!

P5/6 have a new topic this term, we are learning all about, ” The Titanic.”

Painting  the windows on our Titanic display .

Using I Pads to research various facts.

Measuring our display of the Titanic for the rope guides.

We are very proud of our Titanic painting.

This term we have had some great Topic lessons led by pupils such as a fantastic wand lesson by two of our P5 boys, an edible wand by P6, how to make a snitch  and some lovely treats brought in for homework, here are a few of our pictures.
