Today April 1st a first aider came in and showed us how to bandage! we also learned CPR, what to do with burns and what to do when we bang our head! He also shown us the danger of not wearing a helmet on a bike.

Yesterday me and my peer created a pulley system! We used string, a water bottle and wheels with a groove. We cut two holes in the water bottle and put string through. Next we placed the string on the wheel and tested it! Finally we also wrote a guide on how to make a pulley in our books.

We all visited a construction site a couple weeks ago. We got to go inside the houses, looked around the site and got a map of what it will look like when it is finished. Also we were given  gifts which were items such as pens, hard hats and maps.

This term our class has got a new topic called ‘Rollercoasters’ and we designed really cool covers for our topic book.I designed a ride and a popcorn stall and fireworks.

Dydd Miswig Cymru is a Welsh music day. Our class listened to Welsh songs such as ‘Rhedeg De Baris’ And bands such as Swnami. We also wrote information about welsh artists such as Tom Jones. 🎹🎸🎶🎵🎤

On Friday 15th February 5/6 went to St John’s Church to attend a mock baptism with Lebron Stevens being baptised (plastic baby). We went through the whole process and I was a godparent! My role as a godparent was to pray for the baby and if the parents passed away I would look after the baby. We had to say lines and prayers.

In PE this term we have been doing robot dancing in 2’s 3’s or fours. Me and my group (Gabriel, Corey, Liam and I) did it in a four as you can see in picture. We did various robot combinations and dances. We also made masks to wear during the dance. We painted them and stuck jewels on to make it look better. Some people created the same masks but me and my group made different masks. It took several weeks to learn how to get the movements right and what kind of dances you can and cannot do. Also we performed it in front of the class. We also practised with Mrs Skinner and even watched a video! It was fun over the several weeks we did it and I enjoyed it!

This term year 5 and 6 went on a trip to Sony because of our topic ‘Tomorrow’s World’ and learned lots of new things. We saw a factfile and information about Sony and we also looked at how they make cameras for TV’S. They also showed us some broadcasting equipment. Some of the cameras they made were used in the 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP. It took 45 minutes to get there and 45 minutes back. It was a fun experience and we learned lots of interesting facts! 🎥📹📽📺
