If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!! We have had lots of fun today on our topic of robots. What would you design a robot to do to make your life easier?

This afternoon we have been using the coordinates skills we learned in Maths last week to help us to read maps.  We had a list of towns and cities and the Roman roads that were built to connect the two.

We learned about how Roman roads were made and that we can still see some roads today.

After a very windy session, we are now back in the warmth of the classroom looking at our results.

Before we head outside the children had a go at identifying different types of birds.

As part of our R.E work we have been learning all about the characteristics that make a good friend.  

Today we had lots of fun working outside with Sally from the RSPB.  We found out all about different creatures and where they live.

This afternoon we took part in a workshop run by the RSPB. We learnt about the different British birds that we can find in our gardens before looking for them in the Eco garden and on the school field. It was brilliant fun!

Be careful your alligator looks hungry!

This afternoon the children have made and programmed 'the hungry alligator'. They have written algorithms including pulleys, gears and motion sensors to make the alligators mouth open and close. Great work Year 5!

In science, we are creating our own breeds of dog, based on the popular 'labradoodle' dog...

The children are now being engineers and looking at different combinations using pulleys and gears.

Fabulous morning. Apologies in advance when you clean the clothes at home as it was a bit muddy!
