Anti-Bullying Week

 Today, year 5 joined a live lesson on bullying.  Bullying is not a singular incident it must be repetitive. 

The children were given different scenarios to decide which one was bullying and which wasn’t. 

They then had to draw a hand and decide who they would reach out to if they faced bullying behaviour. This is what Priory Class made.


Next, we looked at what it means to be an ally and how we can help others and give good advice. There were different groups of children explaining how they would support each other and how important it is to listen to each other. 

We then looked at how we might answer the following text from a friend. 

So what makes a good friend? These are our answers: Loyal, supportive, kind, have fun with them, they can help you when things are going wrong, somebody who does not judge you. 

Finally, the class identified some of the different feelings we have and how we can deal with them either on our own or with a friend or trusted adult. 


As a class we decided these were our three ways to be kind. 

1) Let people play with you.

2) Be friends with everybody

3) Be kind to each other.

As a class we discussed how we should always treat others as we want to be treated. Isla said, ‘Don’t turn into the bully!

Science - What is aerodynamics, and how can we use understanding of it to make our cars faster?

 Today was the day the children have been looking forward to - getting into their Formula 1 group and beginning their research into Aerodynamics of a car.  Working in teams, the children used a range of secondary sources to explore what aerodynamics actually is, and how we can apply this knowledge to make our car design better.  Children looked at streamlining, wings, spoilers, tyre warming, air flow and inspiration from nature - as well as looking at the newest, and most aerodynamic car to date - the LightYear 0, learning that a teardrop is actually the most aerodynamic shape, rather than the classic 'wedge' of the F1 cars. The children will be working on this research until Christmas, when they will present these, as part of their final presentation, and as part of their table display on race day.

I can explain why some parts of Scandinavia have 24 hours of darkness.

This week the children used globes to identify how the tilt of the Earth has an effect on the amount of light/ darkness in Northernmost part of Norway and Sweden which are north of the Arctic Circle. The polar nights lasts for about 28 days and the midnight sun can last for 50 days.  The Earth is on an axis - 23.5 degrees. Which means that when the Earth is tilted away from the sun, there are parts of the northernmost points that do not receive any sun for parts. When the Earth is tilted towards the sun the northernmost points will receive sun most of the time.  This was quite a tricky concept to learn so the children used torches and a globe to act out how the tilt has an effect of the Earth.
