Our Learning
This half term, we have been learning about Flight. We have studied the history of flight, working together to make a timeline of major innovations in flight.
We learnt about the history of the Wright brothers and the trials and tribulations they faced as they attempted to make a flying machine.
We studied the life of Amelia Earhart, learning about her achievements as a pilot. We tracked her journey around the world, as she attempted to circumnavigate the globe and we wrote postcards home from the places which she visited.
Finally, we designed and made our own flying machines using materials in class!
Our first topic of the year was Inventors. We learnt about some interesting inventions and their inventors and how they changed the world. We looked at the inventions and lives of inventors including Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci and Nikola Tesla.
We learnt about Alexander Graham Bell and how sound waves make a telephone work, Thomas Edison and how the invention of the light bulb has affected the world today and Marie Curie and how her invention of the x -ray helps us if we need to go to hospital.
As part of Black History Month we learnt about some black inventors and thought about why they may have been overlooked. For example, Lewis Latimer actually invented the lightbulb but Thomas Edison took all of the credit!
Lonnie Johnson worked for NASA and invented the Super Soaker and George Crum invented crisps! We design our own flavour of crisps to see what it would be like to be George Crum.
In Science we have been learning about how materials change from one state to another. We conducted an investigation to find out which changes are reversible and which we could not change back.
