Cedar - Click here to see what we have been learning
Autumn 1
Cedar Class have had a very busy and exciting start to their first half term in Year 5! The children have settled in brilliantly and shown fantastic enthusiasm for their learning across all subjects.
In History, we have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our World War II topic. We learned all about the Blitz and how people adapted during such challenging times. We also discovered the experiences of evacuees and the bravery involved in the Kindertransport. One of our favourite parts of our learning was finding out about the life of Anne Frank.
In Science, we have been investigating forces. We carried out lots of hands-on experiments looking at friction, air resistance and water resistance. The children loved making predictions, testing ideas and observing the results. We were also lucky to welcome a team from Newcastle University, who came in to teach us all about the importance of looking after our teeth and making healthy choices.
In our Design Technology lessons, we had so much fun designing and creating our very own Doodlers. Everyone worked incredibly hard to bring their ideas to life, and the final creations were fantastic.
We also enjoyed a visit from Nissan, who told us all about the work they do at the local manufacturing plant. We then had the opportunity to design our own cars and create some out of Lego.
