Yesterday, Year 5 went on a trip to Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre.

Although we arrived late, we had a FANTASTIC time! 🌟🌙

We watched a scientist light up a mini rocket that flew across the room and learned all about different telescopes and how they use them for research.🔭

After that, we went exploring around the exhibitions and were able to have a go at lots of practical activities. Take a look at our photos below! 👩‍🚀

We have just finished our ‘Stories from other Cultures’ topic In English and really enjoyed reading Journey to Jo’burg.  We have learned so much about African culture.

We have created some lovely African style art to go alongside our work.

Our Year 4.5 footballers absolutely loved their 5-a-side football match at Grange Park Primary School last night. It was a brilliant end-to-end match under the floodlights on their 3G playing surface. Thank you Mr James for hosting and refereeing.

This week we have started learning about our new geography topic, ‘The Americas’.

In our first lesson, we used Google Earth and atlases to explore where North and South America is as well as looking at human and physical features located there.

This week’s homework is to continue exploring America. Please find out as much information as you can about the Statue of Liberty and complete the fact file we have given you.

We cannot wait to see what you find out!

What and when is COP27?

COP27 stands for the 27th Conference of the Parties. COP27 will take place in Sharm el-Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. It will take place from 7-17th November 2022. It’s an important summit that will be attended by representatives of all the countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

At the summit, the leaders of these countries will meet with climate change scientists, activists, campaigners, and other experts to discuss the measures that should be taken in the battle against the climate crisis.

Why is COP27 important?

COP27 is an important event because the latest science shows that climate change is moving a lot faster than we are.

This year, the main focus of COP27 must be implementation.

This is an activity you could do at home.
