Scientific Enquiry

 
Our year 5 scientists have been hard at work this half term exploring the Properties of Materials. This week saw them planning an experiment based on a material's ability to work as a thermal insulator. We want to find out what type of material will keep a hot drink warm for the longest amount of time, the results are eagerly awaited by staff for their morning tea or coffee!

"I really like getting to focus on one area of Cranborne history." Emily Z
"It's nice getting to work as a group with different people." Daisy W
 "I like working as a group as we can split the tasks that need doing. I'm working on the PowerPoint with Jacob and Erin and Emma are getting all the facts for us to include." Sam O

Picture
Elliott from FA Skills was back again today to lead another fantastic football session for some of our year 5s. The focus of the lesson today was teamwork, how key a role it can play in being successful on the football pitch and across other sports as well.

Blindfolded Assault Course Challenge

 
While one group was carrying out the Acrostic Poems, another was in the process of attempting an assault course while blindfolded. Buddies had to work together to navigate the assault course, giving only verbal instructions to each other to guide them on their way. Here are some pictures of our buddies working together.

Football Focus

 
In PE we have been lucky enough to have Elliott from the FA Skills coaching team come out to us at Cranborne today to lead a football session. The class all thoroughly enjoyed his coaching session today and it's great to say he will be back again in the coming weeks to lead some more sessions across the school. Even though Cassie was not able to take part in the training elements of Elliott's session today, she still had a key role to play by becoming the class journalist and creating this brilliant Comic Life about the session. Great work Cassie!
