Class 5 have had such a busy week – we’ve been up to all sorts!

In science, we continued our work on sound by investigating whether sound can travel through water. To do this, we got a bucket full of water, a plastic bottle with the lid removed and bottom cut off and two metal eating knives. The bottle was stood in the water and, in pairs, one of us clanged the knives together while the other listened through the bottle. The effect was brilliant and proved that water does indeed travel through water.

On Wednesday, it was the Burn’s Night ceilidh. We got into the swing of it and danced our socks off all afternoon – fabulous!

Food technology and art were both Chinese-themed this week as Chinese New Year is happening this weekend.

In food tech, we did some food tasting. Vegetable spring rolls, egg fried rice, soft noodles, prawn crackers and chicken curry were all on the menu and they were mostly a big hit with everyone!

In art, we made Chinese lanterns and, also paper plate rats – it is the year of the rat this year, after all!

There’s also been two birthdays to celebrate this week so we’ve had to have cake…TWICE! It’s a hard life…

Throw in some Cosmic Yoga, maths, English, reading and RE and that’s our week! No wonder we’re all tired!
