Year 5’s Earth and Space topic has seen them discover and understand many of our Solar System’s phenomena; from our Moon’s lunation to how the planets orbit the Sun. Using models and demonstrations, the children were able to better understand the mind-boggling scale of our Solar System.

In Year 5, our Design and Technology project has been to create something that utilises pneumatics. Using tubing and two syringes, we were able to create a simple pneumatic system to push and pull. The children worked excellently in groups to create their own unique creations.
Utilising the Learning Hub space, Year 5 have been setting up boards for each other to test their knowledge of multiples, factors, prime and square numbers. Two children went head to head to find the numbers first!
