Ancient Greek Newspaper Recount

We are using our text mapping skills to retell the events of Theseus and the Minotaur and Ancient Greek Myth.

Have a look at our video.

Clip 'n' Climb

Four Year 5 children were lucky enough to have an afternoon at the local climbing wall to experience the 'Clip 'n' Climb'.

After a safety video the children put on harnesses and took to the skies as they ascended 15 meters of climbing walls. Returning to the ground using the auto-belay system.

"It was lots of fun!" Kieran told the class.

Aisha A said that it was really scary!

A fun sport, everyone should have a go.

L'Art de la France

We studied George Seurat, a French painter who developed Pointillism. This is using dots to create paintings. The dots, up close, look like separate colours. When further away the colours blend. We used the iconic landmark the Eiffel Tower for our inspiration.

Here are some examples of our work:

Wow Day

For our Spring Term Topic 'Cycles' Year 5 had a Wow day to kick start the term.

The day started with children writing and perform raps using as many words with the root word 'cycl'.

We then moved onto learning about the water cycle; setting up an experiment and creating craft boards to show the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Finally we ended the day designing and building 1, 2 or 3 wheeled vehicles.

What a busy day!
