Today was Enterprise Day! We had to use our imaginations to design a safe space for all children aged 2 and above. In our teams, we had to choose items from a sensory shack using 100 care coins then create a poster and a mascot to show off our design. No idea was too crazy or adventurous! We all worked so well together across Year 5 and Year 6 and came up with some amazing ideas. Each team then presented their ideas to our 3 judges, Mrs Richardson, Mrs Kane and Mr Rudkin. We couldn’t only pick two (because they were all so amazing) but chose three winners to take through to the final event in June at the Metrodome. We can’t wait for June for the 3 winning team to present their ideas to the judges!
See the Enterprise Twitter page for more photos and videos @Primary_ent Today we had a special visit by a Premier League football referee called Darren England. Just like a top-level match official we took part in a task to create equipment to make a referees life easier. In order to do this we had to use many skills such as:
We have had a fantastic day in year 5 for World Book Day today!
It has been lovely to see some amazing costumes, you really did bring a smile to our faces! We have spent the day creating our own version of 'The Day the Crayons Quit'. We have discussed and shared lots of ideas before creating our own version of the story. Over the last few weeks, we have completed our practise weaving. We have used cardboard looms and created our own warp threads before weaving the weft between them. We have evaluated our first weaving attempts today, looking at what we have done well and what we will do different next time when we create our final masterpieces!
What a fantastic Number Day today!
It has been lovely to see some creative Number Day clothing to help us raise some money for a fantastic charity! We have spent most of the day working in teams designing, creating and playing our own mathematical board games. The whole class have shown some excellent team work and collaboration skills today. Well done Year 5. We have been visiting the library each week to change, swap and read our books. We are all developing a love of reading and it is so lovely to watch all the children sharing their books together.
This half term we will be learning all about the Amazon Rainforest. Poppy has gone one step further and done some amazing home learning. She has created a model to show the layers of the rainforest and completed a video clip of her time at the Eden project. Take a look at photos of her work below.
For the next 5 weeks our learning on the Rainforest will involve us:
In art this term, we have been creating seascapes, linked to our Vikings topic. We spent a few lessons trying out different paint and collage techniques before designing and creating our final masterpiece to combine our new skills.
This term in music, we have been learning a song 'Ghost Parade'. We spent some time learning the lyrics to the song before learning some more specific musical notations and symbols to enable us to add a glockenspiel part to the song. |
