This week we have been designing pulleys to link in with our topic ‘Rollercoaster’. We used all sorts of equipment such as: pulley blocks, plastic cups, skewers etc… Once we had built them we all compared our builds and voted for a first, second and third. After that in our science books we wrote a step by step guide about how to make a pulley.
Last week Mr Stone from Oakwood Theme Park came to talk to us about our questions to link in with our topic ‘Rollercoaster’. We set up an interview where we would ask him questions about the park while Mrs Cooper videoed them. Once we had done this, we transcribed the event by listening to the conversation on a device with a peer/friend. All in all our class really enjoyed the visit and we are really excited about maybe having a possible visit to Oakwood Theme Park!

Some time next week, two pupils from our class will be going to a meeting about well being in Cwmtawe. There will also be two year 6 pupils coming with us. we will be discus different emotions and we will test out a questionnaire.
On Friday 15th our class went to a mock baptism. We each had roles to preform as you would in a normal baptism. We arrived at St John’s church at about half past twelve and we would start at about one o’clock. The roles we had to preform meant everyone got to participate and so everyone had fun. Instead of baptising a pupil we baptised a doll and we named it Le Bron Stevens (named after a famous basket ball player). After we finished the service we had food and drinks such as biscuits, cake, crisps and squash. All in all we all enjoyed to baptism and would like to do more things like this.
On Friday 8th of March our class dressed up to celebrate World Book Day and brought in one pound to raise money to buy more books for our library. Everyone is enjoying the day so far!
In yr 5/6 we are going to be doing robot dancing! We are designing robot masks for the dance. All are class took part in the dance we really enjoyed it, we will be doing the dance again but with the robot masks on.
