Year 5 Trip to Epping Forest

As part of our work on rivers year 5 went to Epping Forest on 24th November 2010.

It was a bright and sunny day, but extremely cold. We set off with wellies, jeans and winter warmers.



We started by looking at the source of the river and examining different soils. It was very suprising to see how a river really begins.




Later in the day we drove to Debden to take measurements of the width, depth and speed of the water in two different places. Other than lunch this was by far the most popular part of the day!

We had a very enjoyable day and came home cold, tired and wet.

Year 5 Friendship Day 21/10/10

During Citizenship Week Year 5 held a Friendship Day event for our BEC project.

We were split into groups and were responsible for areas such as biscuit making, bracelet design, advertising, awards, evidence and surveys.
On the day we sold friendship biscuits and bracelets for children to buy for their friends.





The day was a real success and we were really pleased so many of the children in school enjoyed our biscuits and bracelets! Hopefully they also enjoyed thinking about how to be a good friend!
