Hi there! My name is Farrah. My favourite subjects at school are where I get to be creative and imaginative. But, did you know, this is not only in the art or drama classroom?! We can also be creative in the ways we do Science and Technology. This is especially true when thinking about new ways to answer a question with a science investigation or drawing a design to solve a problem. I also really love being outdoors in the natural world around me. This is why I am going to go through Life and Living and Processing with you. This year we will learn more about the amazing fact that plants make their own food! I am also excited to learn about nutrition and how to be healthy. We will also process foods – I think I am going to make plum jam and decorate the lids to give as presents to my family. Sophie is my best friend and she teaches me how to think carefully and solve problems using logic, which is a very good skill to have in Science. Although we can get on each other’s nerves, just like best friends do, we have so much fun together and learn a lot from each other.
Hey! My name is Tom. I have two places where I am most happy! The fi rst is in the Science lab because this is where we get to be inventive and tinker away with projects and experiments! My second favourite place is the junk yard! Do you know how many interesting objects you can fi nd there?! I use these objects in my latest inventions. This is why I am really excited to be going through Matter and Materials and Processing with you. This year we are going to learn more about the states of matter, and some new topics such as mixtures and solutions. I am also really excited to design a system to purify water as I think this will be really useful to have! I also really enjoy maths and thinking about how we can solve problems logically. Jojo is one of my best mates, although he can be very messy at times! But, Jojo helps me get involved with my whole body when trying to solve problems in our daily lives, and not just use my mind.
