STEM, sunshine and singing!

Year 5 have been really busy rehearsing for their Isle of Wight assembly, which was a huge success this morning! Thank you to everyone who came to watch. We are all very proud of their individual achievements, as well as how well they have worked together to perform as a year group. In DT this term, we have been designing and building pulley systems. We have linked this to a real-life problem that farmers in Nepal face, as they have to transport tomatoes they grow down mountains to towns so they are able to sell them at markets. We think you will agree, their designs are fantastic! Next week we will automate them, so we look forward to that. In maths we have entered our final topic of the year - volume. In English, we continue to read Journey to Jo'burg and have started to think about planning a creative narrative where the characters the children design will Journey to a country or city of their choice!
