Year 5 Bottle Rockets! 🚀

Last term, the children in Year 5 designed and built bottle rockets as part of our DT project. Today, we all went onto the field to test out our creations and see if we had managed to hit the design brief.

After a few failed attempts and some spectacular launches, we evaluated the effectiveness of our bottle rockets back in the classroom.

Here are some photos and videos of our rocket launches!

5M Computing

5M had a great day learning about Computer programming using crumbles.  They enjoyed making a sparkle box flash different colours, using a motor and using a push switch through the use of Crumble programming.  To conclude the day, the children designed and made a working model of a fairground carousel this demonstrated their understanding of how the microcontroller and its components were connected.

WhatsApp

Year 5 Parents and Carers

I hope you are well.

We have recently dealt with several concerns with the use of WhatsApp amongst Year 5.  I thought I would provide families with some useful advice for this social media platform.

We would strongly recommend that you are vigilant about messages that are exchanged on WhatsApp.

Please note the recommended age for WhatsApp is 16+.

Take care

Yr 5 DT – Summer Term

As part of the Yr 5 summer Design and Technology project – Bird Boxes – Mrs Jones requires some bits from home. Every child will need to bring in a small box e.g., cereal, toothpaste, gift box etc , ready for Monday 24th April. The children will then be able to investigate how boxes are made.

Kindest regards

5M D&T Bottle Rockets

Today and tomorrow we’re working on our bottle rockets designing and making. For Friday’s lesson we are hoping to make our bottle rocket.

Apologies for the late notice – the website hadn’t pushed out this message – the children may need (and I appreciate – only if you have them!) a plastic bottle, some stiff cardboard, masking/duct tape and anything else they may find in your recycling bin!

They will be working collaboratively – so please don’t worry if you haven’t all the bits!

Kindest regards and apologies,

Mr M
