It was really tricky, but we persevered!
In Design Technology, we have been learning about pneumatic systems. We used our Science knowledge of solids, liquids and gases (Year 4) and learnt that by squashing air, the particles get closer together and increase the pressure. This high air pressure can be used for lots of things like drills and machinery to lift heavy objects.
For International Languages Day we learnt a little bit of Spanish. We learnt Spanish numbers up to ten, colours and some key phrases. We had fun creating 'fortune tellers' and playing 'snap' and 'pairs' games.
