Thomas Arnold Primary School

Year 5 Computing

Year 5 explored filming angles in a computing lesson by experimenting with different camera positions and shots. They filmed short clips using a range of angles and discussed how each one changed the way a scene looked and felt. By reviewing their footage, the pupils learned how filming angles can influence mood, focus, and storytelling.

Year 5 – Investigating Water Resistance

Year 5 investigated water resistance by designing and making their own streamlined boats. They tested how different shapes moved through water and observed which designs travelled fastest and most smoothly. By comparing results, the pupils learned how streamlining reduces water resistance and helps objects move more efficiently through water.
