As part of our campaign to save our church, Year 5 have been looking at how we can spread awareness. Thinking about our our computing unit around video production, we have been looking at how we can use iMovie to create video shorts to share to our social media.
Year 5 focused on front crawl this week, with the aim of improving our movement across the water by kicking our legs faster! We worked super hard on this!
Year 5 looked at growth mindset as part of their worship challenge. We thought about we could change our mindsets to turn negative statements into positive ones.
Year 5 completed their RHSE unit on ‘It’s My Body’ at the end of the half term. We thought about the things we could do to look after ourselves, and focused on the importance of sleep, even completing some sleep meditation!
Last week in RE, Year 5 started their new RE all around creation. We looked at Genesis, chapter one, and discussed the impression the text gives. We then created art work to represent this, and used our oracy skills to share this with the class.
Year 5 explored their new DT topic, Moving Mechanisms, in their forest school session yesterday. We looked at the links with our previous science units, and wowed Mr Richardson and Mrs O’Doherty with their sticky knowledge! We looked at how we could create our own pneumatic system, and then used this knowledge to help us work in groups to make a box talk! Well done Year 5!
Year 5 visited the Laing Art Gallery today to complete their gold task for their art unit, Tints, Tones and Shades. We created our own landscape artwork thinking about foreground, middle ground, background and how we could create perspective, pulling together all we had learned throughout the unit. We were also able to go around the gallery to draw inspiration from the landscape artwork featured there.
Year 5 had their last swimming lesson of this half term, focusing on back stroke. Sharon tested us to see if we could swim 10m length of the pool doing this stroke.
Year 5 completed an Enrich activity in maths today. We looked at how different sized square grids created different patterns, and then worked out which times tables would create diagonal and vertical lines on the grids.
Year 5 continued their science topic of Forces and Mechanisms this afternoon by looking at pulley systems. We looked at how creating a pulley system created a mechanical advantage, and how the number of pulleys defected the effort needed to lift the load.
