I hope you have a great weekend!<\/p>\n

Hello families of P5B!<\/p>\n
Here are our highlights this week as recorded by the Yellow table:<\/p>\n
Ella and Michael both enjoyed the handball festival.\u00a0 I feel our school really stood out among the other schools as being strong players with super teamwork!<\/p>\n
Aayush and Moeez\u00a0 loved when we lit light bulbs using electricity created by mini handheld solar panels.\u00a0 First we lit them indoors using artificial light (torches and lamps) and then we went outside and used the sunlight.\u00a0 We noticed that the bulbs were much brighter with the sunlight.<\/p>\n
Daniel has been enjoying working with this team to continue to plan and design products for our Enterprise Showcase.<\/p>\n
Ksawery liked using a QR code to access learning about saints.\u00a0 He chose St Mark and St Kinga of Poland.\u00a0 He researched their feast days and read up a bit about their lives.<\/p>\n
Ellie-May said that the highlight of her week was our lessons on Money Week.\u00a0 P5B completed a Reciprocal Reading activity on this topic.\u00a0 Ellie-May found it interesting to learn about the history of money.<\/p>\n
Alex loved measuring out and drawing longbows with chalk in the playground.\u00a0 Longbows, over 6ft, were used by the English in the Battle of Falkirk.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Scotland were defeated.<\/p>\n
Nathan also loved learning about money.\u00a0 He predicts that everyone will have access to more money in the future and there will be no more poverty in the world.\u00a0 What a lovely idea!\u00a0 I hope it is true Nathan.<\/p>\n
Aeryn-Leigh\u2019s learning highlight was when the class worked in groups to measure the amount of electricity produced in relation to cloud coverage.\u00a0 We physically saw the results by using a multi-meter voltage measuring instrument.\u00a0 The more clouds there were, the less electricity was produced by the mini solar panels.<\/p>\n
My highlight were the Money Week lessons.\u00a0 We had such interesting discussions about bartering.\u00a0 I told the children a true story about when my father was a boy and how his family traded eggs for fish with neighbours up in the hills.\u00a0 Towards the end of the week, we talked about what we think the future of money will look like.\u00a0 The most creative idea came from Daniel who thinks money will be delivered to us using drones (if we cannot get to a cash point).\u00a0 Only time will tell!<\/p>\n
Congratulations to our hot chocolate award winner, Ellie-May!<\/p>\n
