Year 5

As part of our topic on Earth and Space we designed and made our own Moon Buggies! We looked at features on real moon buggies and tried to include them in our own designs. As you can see we made some fantastic vehicles.

Y5’s dance theme this half term is Vikings. This week they thought about how the sea might have moved as the Viking’s were crossing over to England. They brain stormed for words like rolling, swirling etc. then came up with movements to show this. We saw lots of skills they had learnt in…

Our theme for Prayer and Liturgy this week was ‘Friendship’. Our leaders  chose a reading from John 15: 15 and made paper hearts to remind us to show love to one

Y5 launched their ‘Mountains topic’ by making concept maps. They wrote what they already know about mountains then did some research and added facts.⛰

Y5 have researched, designed and made Viking Shields.

Y5 dressed up in blue to show they are against bullying. We had a fun afternoon playing games with our friends, decorating biscuits in blue and creating a graffiti wall with reminders of how to prevent bullying.

Y5 have worked hard to create their own versions of Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. We have some budding young artists!

Year 5 carried out an investigation to see if they could separate a mixture of sand, salt and water. They discovered that filtering the mixture separated the sand and evaporation separated the salt and water.

Y5 had a great day on their Anglo-Saxons and Viking Trip. They learnt how to make ink and quills, how to weave and how to make coins on a furnace. They also learnt how to handle weapons and re-enacted a battle.

After reading a paragraph from Viking Boy describing the ‘God Temple’, Y5 drew a pencil sketch showing their interpretation of the description. 

Year 5 studied different styles of art created in the Viking era and drew their own pencil sketches in a similar style.
