In Year 5 we have been making CAM toys. We have researched what a CAM toy is and designed them with our unique ideas, considering who we were making it for. This week we have been painting the outside and creating the inside of the toy. This required us to use saws safely! We got to choose the shape of our CAM and this will change how it moves. We have had fun and look forward to seeing the end design!
Our history topic this half term has been the vicious Vikings and we were fortunate to receive an exciting delivery from archeologists! We were able to explore and uncover different Viking artefacts and discuss what they might have been used for such a clay wine glass and drinking cups make from ivory. Some lucky children also had the opportunity to try on some Viking clothes and we were able to discuss the different roles of Viking men and women.
