Year Five
Owl 5 have had a busy term. Our first topic was Earth and Space, and we visited the Gaia art exhibition at Chelmsford Cathedral. We had an online event where we learnt about junk in space and how it affects space exploration and travel.
We had a visit from the apprentices at Teledyne E2V Technologies, who told us about the equipment they make; some going into space. We had to make a space shuttle with certain materials we were given that would withstand heavy vibrations.
We also had a visit from Abbie Air and the Shed of Science who did a play for the children that taught us how we can keep our air clean.
Our second topic was The Vikings, and we had an exciting day experiencing being Danes living in an 8th century village. We spent the afternoon back in the 21st Century, being archaeologists, finding out what we can learn from artefacts.
What a great start to year 5!
