DT - Designing bridges

This week the children in year 5 started a short STEM challenge by designing bridges that would bridge across 2 tables. They will be judged on the amount of weight they hold. There was some great collaboration on show and some very creative designs.

 What a great lesson as the children discussed what organic means and why people choose to buy them. To support their learning they watched a short clip to identify the strict guidelines that must be met for foods to be classed as organic.  The children then carried out a taste test. Here, they tried 2 types of chocolate and 2 types of bananas. The children the food and needed to decide which was organic and which wasn’t . Mrs Gregory then told the children the price of each item and the children were shocked as to the cost of organic food.

The Explorer

 Over the past few weeks the children have loved reading our text driver ‘The Explorer’. A group of children crash land into the Amazon Jungle where they face many problems as they try to find their way home.  Firstly, they wrote a diary entry from the point of view of a character from the book. The children needed to use the correct features as well as the taught punctuation elements.  This week, the children have finished writing a fact file about the Amazon Jungle. The audience will be Year 3, who will be studying rainforests in the summer term. Using their research skills as well as colons, subordinating clauses and other taught elements the children created their best pieces of writing so far this year. Well done to you all.
