Y5/6 Science lecture at Trinity

This morning, Y5 and Y6 visited Trinity to listen to a science lecture linked to their expedition about space and forces. This gave them the opportunity to experience what it is like to give a lecture and present their learning. This will support them in preparing their own for our celebration of learning.

Well done everyone for being great ambassadors for Green Top, with excellent learning attitudes and behaviour whilst on our visit. I know you impressed Mr Taylor, Head of Science, with your subject knowledge.

Y5 / Y6 Community Crew and OOTW

This morning was our first opportunity to come together as a phase crew since returning to school after the half-term. It was a great to hear what everybody had been learning in class this week and to celebrate a fantastic start to the term – well done everybody, keep up the fab work!

Special shout outs for those children receiving HOWLs certificates today, and to our OOTW champions too. Who will be celebrating next week?

Class 15 – Investigating Friction 🏎

Yesterday, we continued building our knowledge on forces and focussed on friction and how it helps objects to slow down and grip surfaces.

The children discussed which variables we would change and keep the same to ensure the investigation was accurate. They then put their cars to the test to measure the difference they travelled on different surfaces! Another great science lesson guys – Well done!

Class 15 – Super Science

So far this week, we’ve been enjoying building our knowledge of Air and Water resistance. We have conducted different experiments to see how resistance affects different objects and why this happens.

Yesterday, we worked in groups to create our own parachutes and we tested to see which one would be the safest parachute. I have been blown away by the great use of scientific vocabulary too! Excellent effort everyone – you’ll be experts in time for our lectures!
