Home Learning Spring

It's been truly fantastic to see all your efforts over the week in this strange time!

Some more brilliant examples of work from home

The fact that we can't be in school together hasn't stopped these boys and girls from producing some astounding work from their own homes. 

Topic

5Wood enjoyed crafting Anderson shelters from the Second World War period.

Science - Properties of Materials

5Edwards and 5Wood investigated the best material to use to keep Mister Tom's rationed soup pot warm for when he must take cover in his Anderson shelter during a bombing raid. The class used their knowledge of how thermal conductors and insulators work to predict and experiment with which material would be most suitable. 

Music with Mr Kilduff

Each week, we enjoy music sessions with Mr Kilduff, music specialist from NLC. In these photos, we are composing our own melodies using xylophones.
