Children's work
Year 5 have been reading The Promise, by Nicola Davies and Laura Carlin. In this story, a girl makes a promise that changes her community and the wider world for the better. She plants seeds, which turn a grey, oppressive world into one that is bright and beautiful. It changes the lives of everyone for the better. Trees grow, birds come to roost, people are brought together and just like all of us at Chudleigh Primary School, the trees grow and flourish.
Here are some of our promises.
ShelterBox
This term, Year Five have been trying to answer the question, “How can science help in a natural disaster?” We started by learning about the different sorts of natural disasters that can happen and whereabouts in the world they have occurred. In our science learning, we have learned about reversible and irreversible changes and seen how filtration can sometimes be used to get back to the clean water we started with. We tested the properties of different materials and used our findings to help us design a shelter.
As part of our learning, we were fortunate enough to be visited by Martin, a volunteer for the charity ShelterBox, who respond to disasters around the world and provide shelter and other necessities. He told us all about the work they do and brought some of their equipment for us to see. We particularly liked the collapsible, floating, solar light; the insulated blankets, and the water filter.
His visit inspired us to raise money for ShelterBox and we decided to have a cake sale after school. Our goal was to raise £65 to buy a water filter for a family, who had lost their home in a disaster. We made posters to advertise, asked parents to help us bake cakes and volunteered to come and help. It was a huge success; lots of people baked for us and we sold nearly everything. In the end, we raised £167 – more than twice what we had aimed for!
