Class 5PB Macaulay Primary

In our computing this week we have programmed the crumble kit to make a dancer turn with the motor and make the sparkles flash @DeltaMacaulay #ComputingMacaulay

In our science we assembled our solar systems that we created earlier in the week. We are looking forward to seeing them hanging from our classroom ceiling sometime next week! @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay

Today in science we started painting the planets ready to build up our own solar systems later in the week. @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay

Today in our computing we learnt how to connect the crumble kit together and programmed the sparkles to flash different colours. @DeltaMacaulay #ComputingMacaulay

In our science we used play dough to represent the planets to scale in our solar system. We were amazed between the size difference of Jupiter and Mercury! @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay

We have had an anti bullying week workshop with GTFC foundation this afternoon as a part of our work in jigsaw @DeltaMacaulay #PSHEMacaulay

In our geography we’ve been busy learning how to use an atlas to identify capital cities, latitude and longitude as well as different time zones and grid references. @DeltaMacaulay #GeographyMacaulay

We have continued to work on our chipping and putting skills in our PE session this week. 🏌️🏌️‍♀️@DeltaMacaulay # PEMacaulay

This week we’ve been solving multi step addition and subtraction problems and checking our calculations @DeltaMacaulay #MathsMacaulay

As a part of British Science Week last week we built bridges and tested them to see how long they could hold a 1kg weight @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay #DeltaScienceWeek24

This week in science we have investigated the different ways that seeds are dispersed when plants reproduce as a part of their lifecycle @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay

Today on maths day we’ve investigated patterns in maths and used these to inspire some of our own pattern related artwork @DeltaMacaulay #MathsMacaulay

Today in computing we have been busy using different keys on our Bluetooth keyboards paired to our Galaxy Tabs to play different notes and set off different sequences of musical notes on different instrument sprites using scratch @DeltaMacaulay #ComputingMacaulay

Today in our jigsaw we worked in teams to try and guess how much sugar we thought certain food and drink contained. We were really surprised by the actual results @DeltaMacaulay #PSHEMacaulay

In computing today we have continued to develop our coding skills and have worked on building blocks of code to create sequences in scratch to make 3 sprites run at the same time. @DeltaMacaulay #ComputingMacaulay

In our computing today we started exploring code using scratch and moving, changing our sprite and backdrops @DeltaMacaulay #ComputingMacaulay

Today in science we sorted pictures to decide whether we thought they were plants or not plants whilst exploring features of plants at the start of our new science unit @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay

Today in maths we investigated fractions on a number line and used 2 sided counters to represent them as well as exploring fractions in scales @DeltaMacaulay #MathsMacaulay

In our RE this week we thought about all of the days we had learnt about Hinduism and created knowledge pyramids to showcase our learning @DeltaMacaulay #REMacaulay

In our science today we tested how reflective different materials were @DeltaMacaulay #ScienceMacaulay
