What an amazing display of homework year 5 produced. Maya temples, headdresses, timelines and research to name a few. Well done everybody, I have been blown away by the effort you have put in. You super stars!
In science this week, we were looking at the effects of water resistance. We made a sphere, cylinder and cube out of plasticine and predicted which would take the least time to travel through the water and therefore have the least amount of water resistance.
