Earth according to 5 Blue (and Eratosthenes!)
Today we learnt about Eratosthenes – if you want to know how to pronounce his name, ask any member of 5 Blue! We recreated his investigation into whether the earth is round or flat. Here is a “mashup” of our videos! What other facts can you find out about Eratosthenes?
5 Blue test gravity!
Today we conducted some investigations to prove that gravity exists (which in turn will help us prove that the earth is a sphere!). We worked in groups to test the impact of changing variables such as the weight, shape and surface area of objects. We discovered that the surface area of the objects had an […]

The Digestive System according to 4 White!
In English we are learning about “explanation texts”. After a lesson learning about the key features, we applied our scientific knowledge and understanding of technical vocabulary to produce an oral explanation of the digestive system. Great job, 4 White! How will you apply today’s learning when you are writing your own explanation text?
