In Year 5, we have had some visitors in school this week. Ally from Usborne Books welcomed us into Buccaneers to explore her books. We have also had a rap workshop. First, we had to say our names and something about us. For example - I have a brother or sister. Then, we had to make a rap with words that we came up with which Andrew supported us with. 

We had fun in the Boxercise session this week doing different exercises. In Music, we have been carrying on with our Grime tracks but adding in some audio. The final result was very successful. 

In Science, we conducted an experiment to find out how much gas was produced as part of the non-reversible reaction between a vitamin C tablet and water. We had to use film canisters and put a quarter of a vitamin tablet in it with water. When we turned them upside down, the film canister shot up like a rocket because of the chemical reaction that took place. Next, we tried half a tablet, then three quarters and finally a whole vitamin tablet. Some of them went higher than the roof! It was definitely one of the best science lessons we have had. 

In Art, we have been doing our final portrait designs using oil pastels, pens and a picture of ourselves. We had to use all our ideas to make a multi-media creative self-portrait.

To finish the week, we had an online workshop about AI. We then worked as a group to create a poster about how to use AI safely.
