Join us this term as we learn about Asia as we become geographers. We will find out about mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. In science we will be exploring materials in our science lessons and learning how important they are to our everyday life.

Our Learning
In Science, Year 5 have been learning about how we can separate mixtures using filtration. We used tea leaves, a funnel, filter paper and beakers to investigate. First, we mixed together tea leaves and water. Then, we poured the mixture into the filter paper to separate the leaves from the water. We had great fun!
Year Five discussed appropriate and inappropriate behaviour relating to our school rules. We watched episodes of Paradise Street where inappropriate behaviours caused behaviour issues in friendship groups. Then, we all remembered that God calls for us to love each other even when things are difficult. Finally, we wrote a diary entry on how we can manage our thoughts and feelings so that we can act lovingly towards ourselves and each other.
2024/2025
Our first topic in Science this year is Earth and Space, we have been working hard to develop our scientific knowledge as well as immersing ourselves into the topic with a visit from Wonderdome to explore space exploration further.
