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.

Y6 SPaG site to support home learning

Please find a link below to a SPaG revision website that I have created to support the children in developing their knowledge of grammar, punctuation and spelling rules. This knowledge is tested on the Year 6 SPaG papers.

Here is the link: https://sites.google.com/greentopschool.org/year-6-spag-revision/home

I hope you find it useful and it supports any learning at home. I will continue to add to it throughout the year and set homework linked to areas we need to focus on.

Thank you

Crew Ambler – Friction Investigation

In this lesson we investigated friction. We learnt that friction is the force that acts against us when we move something heavy. We learnt that the rougher the surface the stronger the friction. For example we found that the car did not travel as far on the carpet compared to the table. This was because the carpet was rough therefore there was more friction acting against the car so it did not travel as far. The table was smoother as there was less friction which caused the car to travel further. Well done Crew Ambler a great science lesson!
