To learn the parts of a flowering plant, this week we have dissected tulips in our practical science lessons.
We worked as groups to dissect the tulip and take a close look at its reproductive parts - the anther, stamen, stigma and ovule. We learnt that in these parts the pollen is produced and stored.
We also discovered that the petals are bright and beautiful to attract insects and animals!
Children in year 5 have been working very hard on applying their grammar knowledge to build complex sentences in Spanish. They are able to know when to use the word "hacer" and when to use "jugar". They are also able to link two sentences choosing the correct conjunction when speaking and writing the language.
This week, Acer and Beech visited the Guru Nanak Darbar Sikh Temple. We went as part of our R.E learning. We learnt why the gurdwara is important to Sikhs and how Sikhs interact with the gurdwara. During our visit we were able to see a wedding, learn about Langar and see important Sikh symbols.
