Today, Almost all advertising is created digitally. What makes them effective? How can we use our computing knowledge to create our own promotional advertising?
Robins analysed the features and look forward to using their IT skills to create their own later this month!
We have been practicing our throwing and catching skills to improve our accuracy whilst fielding in rounders.
The Book of Exodus tells how God called Moses to the top of Mount Sinai. God told him that he had chosen the Israelites as his special people. He would care for them and take them to a new land but they must keep the ten rules. He gave these rules to Moses, written on two stone tablets. The story is in the Tenakh or Old Testament of the Bible. (Exodus Ch. 19-20). The Torah (The Five Books of Moses) contains all of the commandments given to Moses for the Jewish people including the Ten Commandments.
Today Robins discussed the ten commandments and analysed the relationship in each commandment.
Hollie produced her own ten commandments. Watch below.
Today we started our new Geography Topic, The Earth in Action!
From the Big Bang a solar system of planets was created and one of those planets created was Earth. Today we investigated the structure of the Earth.
To model the layers of the Earth we had a go at making models.

Continuing our Personal, Social , Health and Economic education (P.S.H.E) on understanding the possible dangers of stereotyping, today, Robins analysed different adverts.
First Mr Lo discussed how new laws have been put in place.
On 14 June 2019, a new rule was introduced into the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (CAP Code) and UK Code of Broadcast Advertising (BCAP Code), banning harmful gender stereotypes in advertisements.
We looked at some old adverts and discussed why the adverts could be harmful.

Since April 1st, Robins have been learning about condensation and evaporation.
As scientists they developed Setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests.
The question (practical enquiry) was , “Which liquid would evaporate the quickest?”
To do this they would compare (comparitive) different liquids. Robins chose, plain water, salt water, oily water, orange squash and chocolate mix!
To ensure it was a fair test the ensured each liquid was the same amount and placed in the same area of the classroom.
Today, they observed,
Which liquid has evaporated fastest?
– Has anything else happened to any of the liquids?
– Is there any separation?
– Have any gone mouldy?
– Or smell funny?
Look what happened over the weekend!
Extension: Read more about condensation and evaporation below.
Condensation and evaporation are two separate changes of state. Evaporation is when a liquid is changed into a gas. The particles in a liquid are moving and only few have the right amount of energy to escape and become a gas. This process is important because we require it for our earth’s water cycle. It can happen on all surfaces at any time.
Condensation is the process in which water vapour (in the air) is turned into liquid water. You can kind of think of it as the opposite of evaporation.
