This week, Year 5 were lucky enough to have a visit from Xplore, and took part in a Science workshop. Xplore came in to teach our children all about Rare Earth Element (REE) Extraction.
During this engaging and hands-on experience, our children learned about:
- What Rare Earth Elements are and where they come from
- Processing of the raw materials and production of magnets and the use of magnets in everyday technology
- How they are applied to find greener solutions.
In the session, the children took part in ‘extracting’ elements from the earth, they ‘crushed’ the elements and were then able to create their own magnet by the end! It was a fantastic session and the children of Year 5 were so engaged and felt very lucky to be able to have this experience!
Furthermore, Year 5 have been working on perfecting their angles in our Maths lessons. They have been measuring and drawing angles accurately by using protractors. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication to their learning! Well done!
Another superb week in Year 5!
