Learning and caring together

Tuesday 26th January 2021

Good morning Year 5, continue working hard today and make sure you put 100% effort into all of your work. Please make sure you read 3 times this week and record it into your reading record. If you need to change your reading book at any point, please contact me.

Please check your emails throughout today. I will be sending out an email explaining more details about a new whole school learning platform to further assist communication between school and parents and celebrate your child’s successes.

Keep up the great work everyone and have a terrific Tuesday.

Science

Paper Helicopter Investigation

Today you are going to look at the effects of air resistance and gravity. You are going to make a paper helicopter. A helicopter hovers in the air as it propellers rotate. Use the template below and follow the instructions to create a paper helicopter that spins as it slowly falls to the ground.

Time how long your helicopter takes to fall to the ground. Can you make one that falls more slowly? Think about forces of gravity and air resistance which we have looked at the last two weeks and how you can use them to make the helicopter fall slower.

When you have completed the helicopter, draw a picture of it and explain how you have made it fall slower.

Story

Relax, enjoy a story to yourself and reflect on your day.

I am proud of your efforts.

Well done,

Mr Farrier.
