This week, Year 5 have designed, made and evaluated dreamcatchers, inspired by the Native American tribes which we are learning about, within our LMTW topic- Come Fly With Me, America.
Here are just a few of our amazing creations!
UKS2 were given the opportunity to take part in this year’s ‘STEMFEST Net Zero’ event, to raise the aspirations and opportunities available to our young people within the North East.
Throughout the day, we were immersed in STEM-based industries, who showed us a range of different career pathways and what we could expect to see in the future – including zero-emissions transport and a futuristic robot trolley!
We were able to experience it, play with it, use it and develop it.. skills we have been integrating in our own school learning.
We had an amazing day and are truly inspired by what the future holds for us!
6 Red have begun our new LMTW theme, Global Warning!
As part of our topic, we explored the impact of pollution, specifically ocean pollutants.
We found out that oil and chemicals make up the largest proportion of ocean pollution, however it is difficult to remove from the sea once it has been contaminated.
During our investigation, we attempted to find the most efficient method of clearing the oil from the water.
Many of us hypothesised that the sponge would work the best, as it absorbs water, however we realised that water has smaller particles than oil.
In the end, believe it or not, our result found that a pair of nylon tights that attracted the oil and successfully separated it; we discussed that due to it’s similar properties, oil is attracted to nylon!
