‘1001 Science Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry’ event

The Year 5 children had an amazing day at the Royal Society of Chemistry where they watched a live show about the famous Jabir ibn Hayyan and his successor, Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, who developed new ways of classifying substances and organising chemical knowledge.  They then took part in 4 different workshops where they got the opportunity to make soap, test liquids to classify if they are alkaline or acidic amongst others. The children left feeling excited and inspired by how amazing Science can be.

Pizza making in Year 5 and 6

During Maths week, the year 5 & 6 were using estimation to solve real life problems. They learnt the approximations of different weights and capacities to enable them to estimate the amount for each ingredient before actually measuring them. The question is how close were they in their estimations and how yummy were their pizzas?

Maths week

As part of Maths week, ‘Maths is everywhere,’ Year 3 & 4 learnt about ‘Data Handling.’ Their lessons revolved around real life Maths based activities where they conducted a survey on sweets and collected and gathered data from around the school, to find out which sweets were most popular amongst the students and which were least favoured. They then converted the data into tally charts and bar graphs.  They used their knowledge of collecting and handling data by participating in the school fair in which they engaged in making sweet cones to sell. This also gave them the opportunity to experience market research and profit margins.

We celebrated the end of Maths week with a bang! The children were invited to take part in a Maths hat competition to design and make their own hat inspired by the Maths topics they have been learning at school. We saw shape hats, number hats, time hats, weighing hats amongst others. We were really impressed with the creativity and enthusiasm that was put into the designs. A very well done to all the children who entered the competition!
