5/6 D

This term our class have been focusing on electrical energy as part of a unit with Mr Backhouse our student teacher, who has been working with us for 6 weeks. This is his last week with us and we will all miss him very much.

We had a challenge using the following materials to make a balance arm that showed the transfer of energy. Some of the energy types could be: kinetic, potential, mechanical, motion etc.

Currently we are creating a balloon rocket using string, straws, cardboard tubes and a balloon. We are working in groups to design a balloon rocket capable of being launched using our knowledge of transformed energy.

We have also been looking at similes and metaphors during poetry lessons. Students have been focusing on writing metaphor poems and the results have been impressive.
