Year 5
Bikeability
Year 5 have been excitedly riding their bikes this week! They have shown off their skills on the playground on Monday before some of them went on an adventure around the local roads!
Tangram Puzzles!
As part of our shape unit in Science, Year 5 have been using their knowledge to solve tangram puzzles. The children worked well as a team to try and create different animals out of different shaped carpet tiles.
Science!
As part of our Science unit this half term, Year 5 have been comparing the nutritional content between shop bought and home-made items. To test this, we compared a Cheese and Pickle sandwich from the shop and then we made our own. The home-made sandwiches were significantly healthier in all areas! They may have been healthier but not sure on which presentation was better!
Food around the world event
As part of our 'Celebrating Differences' unit in PSHE, Year 5 have been planning, resourcing and producing a Food around the world event. The children (who were grouped) each picked a different culture to celebrate and baked a delicious sweet treat to sell. The event was such a success and we raised £164.40 for our chosen charity, Shelter.
Ancient Greek Art
Foxes have been taking inspiration, designing and then making their own Ancient Greek pot. The children had great fun practicing different techniques when using the clay.
T-shirt designs!
Foxes have been designing a t-shirt machine to make an individual t-shirt of their choice. The children had some amazing ideas and then brought them to life using fabric pens.
Vision workshop
Foxes have been learning about the differences that other people in the school/world may have. We enjoyed a workshop to learn about the difficulties that people with a visual impairment may face! The children got to try on glasses to show them hard normal tasks are for some people.
Volcano Art
Foxes have been practicing their painting skills, using acrylics to create a picture of a volcano. We practiced different techniques to create the lava and how to mix the colours together to make it the most realistic. Check out the pictures we made below!
