French: lesson 4: using de la and du
Year 5 sang their song and revised saying different sentence structures learnt so far including J’aime and Je n’aime pas. They learnt when to use du and de la and then labelled images.
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.
