Over the last two weeks, we have been consolidating our learning from our current case study. We have used classification keys to sort different sweets and created lifecycles.

Year 5 Tropical World
We had a fantastic time at Tropical World on Tuesday. It was great to see all the animals and get a feel for the heat and humidity of the rainforest.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue “Kitchen Nightmares” Competition
The competition is the first part of our “Kitchen Nightmares” campaign that will be running throughout the autumn. Children aged between 6-12 are invited to take part.
Our advice to help you avoid a kitchen nightmare is:
- Keep electrical leads, cardboard and fabrics well away from the hob and keep ovens, hobs and grills clean from grease and crumbs
- Keep an eye on cooking at all times and never leave it unattended
- Switch off cooking appliances when you’ve finished cooking and gone to bed

Year 5/6 Science Club – Friction
Over the last 3 weeks we have been investigating friction. We started by looking at how far toy cars moved on different surfaces. We looked for similarities and differences between the surfaces. We found that rough bumpy surfaces had more friction than smooth shiny ones. We used what we found to create our own surface to try and slow down a ball.
This week, we tested our surfaces to see which slowed the ball down quickest. We predicted which surface would be the best, created a results table and then found the average distance.
