Year 5 have been continuing with the PE unit, gymnastics, focusing on rolls and jumps, and how we can put these together in a sequence.
Year 5 completed their computing unit around programming this week. We concluded our learning by programming our crumbles to operate a motor to turn our carousel, whilst also lighting up a sparkle. We were all very successful in being able to programme multiple components!
Year 5 have had an incredible day at the beach for our latest art topic, Natures Art. We investigated materials, explored what we could do with them, and then used these to create our gold piece of art in the afternoon. The children were fantastic ambassadors for the school, and worked so well across the day!
Year 5 have been putting together their programming learning to construct a carousel that they can programme to turn using a switch and a motor. They made their designs, and began to bring these to life before designing an algorithm next week.
Year 5 started their new PE unit, gymnastics, this week. We looked at what rolls, balances and jumps we could remember from Year 4, then completed different stations to try to perfect some gymnastics jumps and leaps.
Year 5 started their new computing unit around programming this week. We looked at how we could programme our crumbles to create different light sequences with a sparkle! Year 5 were computer whizzes, and used their sticky knowledge of electrical circuits and conductors from Year 4 to help them.
Year 5 and Year 1 teamed up last week, to participate in our prayer space day themed around our school values. We completed tasks together linked to trust, growth, strength, wisdom, trust and peace.
Year 5 brought together all they had learned this half term in their art topic, Line, Lights and Shadow, to create their gold artwork. We recreated black and white photographs we had taken, thinking about how we could create perspective with shading techniques we had explored.
Year 5 had a fab afternoon investigation perimeter and area yesterday. We started by drawing shapes to a given perimeter or area, before we estimated the perimeter and area of objects in our classroom, before measuring them to accurately to see how accurate our estimations were. Some of us even challenged ourselves to work out the perimeter and area of different areas of the school!
Year 5 had a jam packed day for our Time to Talk day last week! For our DT topic, Eat the Seasons, we researched and then cooked a seasonal dishes to share with our parents and carers during COOL afternoon. We spent the day with a huge focus on our oracy skills, and during the cooking stage, we became food bloggers! We recorded each stage of our preparation, ensuring we were including all of our key topic vocabulary. We then used this footage to create our own videos which we then presented in the afternoon, thinking about our physical oracy skills.
