Team DB have been busy investigating circuits and their key components. We researched what a circuit consisted of and what its purpose could be. Then, we drew and labelled scientific diagrams of circuits containing batteries, bulbs, wires and switches. Mrs Bamforth explained that Team DB would be using these diagrams to design, create and eventually evaluate a light circuit to attach to their European landmark which they constructed in Art! We cannot wait to start creating!

Here are some of their wonderful circuit diagrams, as well as some of the European landmarks they will add the circuits to!... Team SG have been busy investigating circuits and their key components.

Team CW have been busy in our creative area the past few weeks and have been building on skills we learnt at home and at nursery. We have been learning to connect materials together by using glue and tape, and some of us have been learning to connect using split pins to make parts of our models move. We are beginning to decorate what we make and add detail and some of us have made some fantastic fire engines with windows, lights and even a ladder!
An important part of building is changing what we do if something doesn’t work or if we have even better ideas! We have been learning to be resilient and keep trying and then try something else if our plan doesn’t work. We can also talk about our design and are beginning to explain what our models can do and how we made them. Year 6 have investigated plate tectonics and their role in making the Pacific Rim a seriously extreme place for volcanic activity. As well as learning about extreme weather and revising key oceans, continents, mountains, we have also investigated how and why earthquakes happen, and the human and physical impact of these catastrophic events. This will lead into Year 6 designing and creating a device to detect volcanic eruptions. We have booked out two full days in the second half of the Autumn term to look at creating, designing and evaluating early warning systems for a natural disaster. We will be challenging children to apply their knowledge of electrical circuits in their designs. We cannot wait! We have certainly had an incredibly creative day in year 4 and 5! We researched souvenirs which people buy from the seaside, look at the packaging they came in.
We did this to help inform us and identify the appropriate packaging for each souvenir. We then evaluated which one matched our criteria, which tools we would need that fit the purpose of our design. Finally, we created our own souvenir boxes using coloured card we had chosen. We are rather proud of our designs! What do you think? Today we have explored how castle have developed and the reasons behind their development.
We found this link very useful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXXDThkJ3Ew Team JD, DB and HG have all been working on creating detailed, appealing European Landmarks in their most recent Art topic. Once pupils had created these, alongside their research into key European landmarks, they constructed a simple circuit containing wires, batteries, switches and bulbs. The purpose of this project was to learn how to create a simple circuit to provide a light source for the landmark they had chosen. The final products that the children created were amazing and fit-for-purpose, as you can see below! The landmarks ranged from close-to-home such as Big Ben, all the way to The Parthenon in Greece! Our European topic is coming to an end, as we quickly approach the Christmas holidays. The children have thoroughly enjoyed learning about this vast continent, especially discovering the countries that are part of Europe. In Team DB, JD and HG, the children have been learning about traditional foods from various countries in Europe, and what better way to experience this, than to take part in a food tasting session! The children had the opportunity to taste traditional foods from Italy, Turkey, Spain, France, and Belgium, learning how different dishes were made and the nutritional values of each unique cuisine! A huge thank you to Mr Akyel, who created a traditional Turkey dish that we were able to share with all the staff at Park Street! Check out our learning journey, as the children experienced the different flavours presented to them. |
