Marland Hill Community Primary School
Together we will achieve more!
Year Group Focus—Year 5
The children have made a wonderful start to Autumn 2, diving into our new topics. Over the half term, lots of children produced some amazing pieces of homework all about South America and deforestation. The children have loved having their work up on display for everyone to see and it has really brightened the classroom.
The children completed their final science experiment on materials, investigating for themselves what affects the rate of sugar cubes dissolving. The children had to create their own enquiry question and use the materials provided to decide how they would answer their question, creating tables to showcase their results. The children massively enjoyed having full control of their learning and lots of interesting discoveries were made as a result!
The children also completed their informal letter to a family or friend explaining that they are unfortunately in prison for a crime they didn't commit! The children really loved getting into character for this writing piece and thought up some very creative reasons as to why they had been arrested!
