Year 5

Year 5 have had a very busy day baking and climbing.

We are investigating recipes using seasonal ingredients this week. Today we made apple and blackberry muffins.

We were impressed with the way they approached the climbing wall – many of them achieved far more than they said they expected to before hand. Good preparation for going to Arthog next year!

This week in Blue Class

This week we have a slightly different timetable whilst Year 6 are at Arthog.

PE kits need to be worn on Tuesday and Thursday. Children will need long sleeves and leggings or tracksuit bottoms.

Thank you for the kind donations for the cooking ingredients today.

We will start cooking on Tuesday so the children will need their container to bring home some of their food (if there is any left)!

In science, Blue class are learning about forces.

Today, they have been finding out about air resistance and how to complete a fair test.

Some of the children investigated how the size of a parachute affects the time taken to reach the ground.

Other groups looked at the effect of changing the material which the parachutes are made of.
