Year 5 Iveson Blog

In Year 5, we are learning all about gestation periods.  In groups, we predicted how long each mammal's gestation period is.  Victoria said, "I think the elephant has the longest gestation period as it is the biggest" Nelly agreed with this prediction and said, "The mouse's gestation period must be really short as they are small."  After, we researched the gestation periods and found lots of our predictions were correct. 

As part of our D.T topic, year 5 made a variety of bread. We had baguettes, naan bread and tortilla.  Get Outlook for iOS

Today we developed our fluency skill by reading to each other, in pairs. We thought about expression and accuracy.  We are loving our new book 'Rain Player'!

On Friday, we had the best day creating our own individual dips and bread! After, we evaluated our food. We were really proud of our creations. 

This week in Geography, children used four figure grid references to locate places in Leeds city centre. We really enjoyed this practical activity! Get Outlook for iOS

Today in science, we investigated the effects of air resistance. We had to create a parachute that had the most air resistance. After designing and creating our parachutes, we dropped them from a height. We found out that parachutes which had a larger surface area created the most air resistance!
