Autumn 2
Chile Week
Hispanic Week - This week, we have taken part in our school Hispanic week. We have been learning all about Chile. We have enjoyed tasting traditional food, having a go at flamenco dancing (with fans we made ourselves) and completed artwork to look like the street art commonly found in Santiago. We have had a lot of fun!
We learned some flamenco dance moves and made our own fans to move with the music
Arroza con leche
We prepared a number of fresh fruits to add to our rice pudding dish - pineapple, oranges, kiwi, grapes and mango to name a few.
We looked at examples of street art in Chile. We worked with our friends to try and copy the style of the Chilean artists - Here are some examples of our Chilean street art. Do you like them?
Street Art











We met Jim Robinson


Jim Robinson spoke to all the Year 5 children about being kind and positive to each other. He asked the children to view the video (see below) and discuss the power of being kind.
SCIENCE
Forces
We looked at measuring weight and mass using a Newton scale.
- Weight is how strongly gravity is pulling an object down. It is measured in newtons (N).
- Mass is how much matter (or ‘stuff’) is inside an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg).
Science Experiments







Can you remember the tests and what you were finding out?
