This week has been incredibly busy for Year 5 and 6. It began with Sequoia and Eucalyptus visiting the secondary school, Arts and Media School Islington, to take part in a DT challenge with
some of their students. Their task was to build a tower using only 15 paper straws and some tape. The group with the tallest, free-standing tower were the winners! The children needed to
work as a team and think about strong shapes and structures. They also had to be resilient and do some problem solving as their task continued. Everyone had a good afternoon and some amazing structures were built!
Both classes also took part in a fantastic coding workshop with Digitall charity. They learnt how to programme Micro:bits to detect light.
Then, carrying on with the theme of light, the children had a lot of fun investigating light, shadows and reflections in their science lessons in class. All in all, a very productive, great learning
week.
