Our Learning
Geography – wb 08.10.25
This week, we explored human and physical features within the USA including famous landmarks such as The Statue Liberty, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Grand Canyon and The White House. We conducted our own research to find out key facts about each landmark as well as which state each one can be found in. We also used the VR headsets to visit some of the landmarks! We will be using the information we found out to create our own labelled map of the USA.
WB 01.09.2025 – Science
Year 5 have spent their first couple of science lessons investigating different materials and their properties. In the first lesson, they conducted 3 simple tests to explore the properties of transparency, hardness and magnetism in a range of materials and made comparisons between them. In the following lesson, they built electrical circuits to investigate whether each material was an electrical conductor or electrical insulator. We’re looking forward to testing thermal conductivity in our next lesson!
