Year 5 – DT – 28.06.24

This week, Year 5 have been making ‘Doodlers’ in DT.

We have been looking at closed series circuits, product design, product function and form to create a toy.

Here are some images from our lesson today. All of Year 5 have shown brilliant resilience, team work, resourcefulness and reflection on their designs.

Well done Year 5!

Homework – Summer 1

This half term, our topic is Countries and Capitals (Norway).

For this half term’s project, we would like you to create a model of a capital city of your choice or a set of ‘Top Trumps’ style cards based on different capital cities around Europe.

Here are some examples:

Formula 1 in school! – 26.02.24

On Monday, Year 5 took part in a STEM workshop where they got to design, build and race miniature F1 cars! They had the best time in their groups with assigned roles such as: Team Leader, Manufacturing Engineer, Graphic Designer, Design Engineer! There are definitely some budding engineers at Apley!

Year 5 visit Oz!

Last half term, Year 5 walked up to Charlton to watch their performance of The Wizard of Oz! They all thought it was amazing and were great ambassadors for Apley!

Homework – Spring 2

Due to our London trip and upcoming assessments, we have decided to change our homework for this half term!

As well as practising your weekly spellings, we would like you to design a logo for our upcoming Spring Poetry Performance that represents the Highwayman! KS2 staff will choose the best one to feature on the front of the performance programme!

Here are some images to inspire you!
