In Science, we had some fun on experimenting on how long it takes a solute and a solvent to mix together to make a solution. It came out to be really fun. 

In PE, we are starting a rugby unit. In these lessons we have had a lot of fun playing games of tag rugby. In the pictures, you can see some students are playing a friendly game. 

In art, we learnt about Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He was born in 1925. While he was alive he did some amazing drawings that we did. One thing we found is that he doesn’t like using a ruler! We copied the picture with the view finders we made ourselves. And today, we enlarged and painted our abstract Hundertwasser inspired pictures.

Last week, we did a STEM lego learning challenge which was really fun and tested our brains. We also learnt that STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Altogether we did five lego challenges (such as designing and building a vehicle that could explore a planet), which were amazing and we all had a really good time building.

Note from Mr Bamford: Big thanks to Wymondham High School and Mr Brown for the loan of the kits and the opportunity to complete these challenges which were introduced and delivered by RAF in collaboration with ‘Raising Robots’.

In our first week of Year 5, we did a 15 question quiz which was really fun and we all had a good laugh. We also played a game called ‘Mystery Me’ where we had to guess each other’s identity. Then we did art where we had inspiration from a video to decorate the front cover of our art books with all different shades of colour. It went really well! Finally, we did some writing about what we are good at and what we are looking forward to in Year 5!
