Killingholme Primary School

Marvellous Maths 

Today year 5 have been estimating and measuring capacity. They did a brilliant job working in groups and then solving problems with it. 

Year 5 braved all weathers this week to take part in Bikeability. They began on the school playground learning how to dress safely, safely stop and make signals. We then went onto the roads to practice some manoeuvres following the Highway Code. The children listened really well and were amazing at taking the feedback to adjust their biking techniques. Well done year 5! 

This week, the year 6's also braved the very wet and cold conditions, to take part in learning to ride safely on the roads. The children were very good at persevering in the cold conditions and we are very proud that all who went out achieved their level 2. Well done year 6! 

In Geography this week, we looked at what the UK is doing to curb the issues of climate change. The children worked together and looked at the data, information and clues given to them regarding five different areas: onshore energy, offshore energy, importing energy, solar energy and converting from coal to gas. The children then decided - using that information - where to place new sites for these initiatives and then justified their reasons why they placed them where they did.

Science - Light and shadows

This week we carried out an investigation to see; how and why, the position and size of our shadows change throughout the day. We made predictions and then we chalked around our outlines throughout the day. We also used a model to represent the sun and the position in the sky at different times. The children then made a line graph with the results.

World Book Day 

We shared our favourite stories and then had a go at making up some of our own using the story dice and You Choose books.
