Incoming.....Parachute testing.
As part of year 5's science topic of forces we have been studying air resistance.
We worked in groups to create 4 parachutes of different sizes.
Parachute A was 15cm by 15cm
Parachute B was 30cm by 30cm
Parachute C was 45cm by 45cm
Parachute D was 60cm by 60cm
Then we dropped them from a height to test how long it takes to fall to the ground. Can you see which one was the quickest? Can you tell which one was the slowest?
In year 5, we have been learning all about the life cycles of mammals, birds, insects and amphibians, in our science lessons. We have then all looked at the similarities and differences between each life cycle and produced short presentations about the comparisons.
We hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something new.

Take a look at the fantastic work Malala class have been doing this week!
Year 5 managed to get 1,000 dojos in a WEEK!!! they all worked so hard. Then had a whole class reward yesterday of ICT or forest time and some sweet treats! Well done Year 5.
This week our focus has been on researching, designing and building model bridges to fit our design brief. They had to be able to span 30cm, have a clearance of 15cm and be able to support a minimum of 500g. All the materials available were priced up so the children had to also try and keep the cost as low as possible. We discovered some very interesting ways of solving the various problems that arose.
A warm welcome to the new reception classes of 2020
