Year 5 students had the opportunity to collaborate in this amazing and life-changing project. They have designed different buildings and places with the collaboration of four architects.

OPDC vision and strategy

As part of our science topic on electricity, we visited the Science Museum so we can expand our learning and see models of the different types of electricity that we had been learning about in the past few weeks. We learnt about the safety of electricity. We considered the impact of the energy on environment and how we can change our lifestyle to save energy. It was interesting to see the link between energy and electricity, and it was exciting to play electricity games. Most importantly it was great to be able to explore in the Science Museum and experiment with the features in the museum.

– Now can you think of one thing that you would like to learn about electricity before we move on from this topic?

While we were at the Science Museum, we had a look at the next topic we are going to learn; which is states of matter. We looked at the differences between the 3 matters, observed the differences in the particles and saw the way the matters changed depending on the container they were in. It was good to see the displays and models in the museum before we start our topic as we will be able to relate it back to our experience.

– Can you remember the 3 matters that we looked at?

– Which matter is always around us in the air we breathe?

– What is one thing that you would like to learn about in this topic or you would like to experiment?

Year 6 have been lucky enough to work with ‘The Art Box’, a local group that works with schools in the community. We have been learning about the effects of World War Two on East Acton.  As you can see, the children really enjoyed their learning!
