Killingholme Primary School

This week, we have enjoyed looking at how fold mountains are formed. We used plasticine to replicate how the tectonic plates would collide under extreme pressure. We then used comic strips to show how fold mountains are formed.

Today we welcomed Energy Heroes into our school. They began by leading a whole school assembly on the impact of using fossil fuels on our planet and how this can effect climate change.  We spoke about making small changes that can help cut down our energy use and the renewable alternatives. Year 5 then interpreted some pie charts looking further at the data. Then 6 pupils in year 5 conducted an energy audit and created an action plan for the school to look at how we can save energy. They did a brilliant job at looking at the data and coming up with some great suggestions!

On the last day on the half term, Class 5 spent a whole day learning all about Japan. They created some fabulous artwork using a special printing technique, learnt all about Japan and their school customs, and had a taste of a Japanese chicken curry at lunchtime. One of the most enjoyable experiences was learning how to be a Taiko drummer with Emma from Humber Taiko.
