We worked as small teams in English to write Explorers Guides to a chosen environment. The writing was fabulous! We created these amazing boards to display our work.
We had a lovely time putting our Science skills to the test creating and wiring our own electronic gameboards.
For our Outdoor Learning we have applied our knowledge of the proportions of the face to making mud sculptures - messy but fun!
In English we have been reading The Book of Monsterology. We have created our own mythical beasts from natural materials.
In Science we have been learning about Earth and Space. Today we investigated whether it is the size, shape or mass of a meteorite that dictates what size crater is created when it hits the moon.
We have been exploring sketching techniques to add shade and tone to our art. We also looked at the work of Picasso and created our own Picasso-esque portraits.
We have had a fabulous first Forest School session building Viking catapults!
We had an outdoor learning session in Maths today. Year 5 have been learning about measure and today we were estimating the volume and capacity of various containers.
World Book Day 2020- Year 5 based their day around the book ' The Boy in the Tower'. They created survival kits for the main character and wrote a paragraph about why they have chosen certain items in their kits. They also sketched a scene from the text and created a story box. What a fantastic day was had by all!
Today was outdoor learning day. We spent our morning reading poetry outside and Maths was out on the playground. The children were solving problems involving scaling measures using a bar models.
Cultural Diversity Week- Welcome to Japan! We had a fantastic week where we learnt so much about Japan. We learnt how to greet people with a bow, some language, practised Shodo (Calligraphy), made sushi, we did some judo exercise in PE, attempted Manga drawings, tried traditional Japanese tea, and learnt a traditional dance. We spent our final day of in Japan learning about Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave’. We sketched the wave in our books and then used watercolour to paint ‘The Great Wave’.
