Here they are planning for their upcoming engagement!

Stainless Steel!

Have you ever wondered why Sheffield United are referred to as the Blades or Sheffield’s ice hockey team are called the Steelers?  Well we found out today!  We found out who discovered the metal and where he was from! We also researched this material and identified how it has been used for trains in the past and how this material is environmentally friendly!  We enjoyed our afternoon creating our own poster presentations and sharing them during afternoon crew!

 

Who can win the clean water challenge?


What a fab afternoon we had in Year 5 today. I loved the collaboration, communication skills, problem solving and determination the children had. Just 45 minutes to turn a bottle of dirty water into the cleanest water they could!

Check out the photos to see how they did it!

Well done guys – you were awesome!

What are the best conditions for dissolving sugar?

Year 5 are becoming serious scientists! This afternoon we investigated what the best conditions are for dissolving sugar. We had to make sure our experiments were fair tests by thinking carefully about what we should keep the same and what we should change. The children drew some clear conclusions about which temperature the water needs to be and made some excellent suggestions for further investigations
