Out of this world!
This week year 5/6 took a trip into space when Star Lincs brought their mobile planetarium to school. The exciting visual display of the night sky brought our Astronomy topic a little closer. We discovered that the Great Red Spot on Jupiter is actually a storm. It covers an area far greater than our planet. We also learnt that gravity keeps all planets orbiting the sun.
Elsewhere in the curriculum we covered:
Maths: Division of fractions
English: Figurative language as our main character 'Fred' in The Explorers, seeks to lead his friends out of the Amazon rainforest.
Guided Reading: Learning new vocabulary and vocabulary retrieval
Science: Astronomy
History: Cotton Spinning during the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the Water Frame by Richard Arkwright.
Geography: New Zealand and the lives and customs of the native Maori people. We particularly enjoyed the Haka.
RSHE: We identified ways to look after our mental health and had some very healthy class debates.
PE: Tennis
