We used mixed media to produce some cherry blossom artwork. First, we created a background using oil pastels and blending them. Then, we used acrylic paint to create the cherry blossom tree.

Art

This week I would like you to create something with a paper plate.  Please don’t worry if you do not have one at home you can just draw around a plate and then cut it out.

I would like you to link it to the country that your Year Group is studying, so here are some ideas.  However, any creation would be wonderful.

Please email a photo of your artwork to me and I will share it on the Art Blog.

Keep creating and keep safe!

Year 5 India – paper plate ideas

We’ve been busy today, solving a maths investigation before beginning some of the home learning that was set.

  Jacob is obviously enjoying his time in school greatly!

Just a quick catch up regarding our science investigation, 5E. The jars of the salt water solution are still on the windowsill and the water is slowly evaporating, leaving the salt behind.

I’ve taken some pictures so you can see the process. What do you notice about the original amount of water compared the amount of evaporation that has taken place?

The Year 5 and 6 Poetry by Heart finalists.

What fantastic performances by all six of them. Clear voices, great memorisation and wonderful actions. A brilliant afternoon of poetry by all.

It’s been a very busy week, with parents evenings (it was lovely to see so many of you), swimming lessons and the Poetry by Heart finals.

We have been applying the skills we have learnt to solve measure problems, incorporating our use of all 4 operations, fraction and decimal work and converting of measures.

We’ve also completed our English work on Ruin and are finalising our published pieces. These will go into an envelope ready for when we hide our stories. More to come about this soon.

Our new English topic is based on extreme sports. The children have some research homework set and need to bring it back into school, to use, by the 20th March.

On the theme of homework – just to remind everyone, children should be reading and practising the multiplication facts every night. There is spelling homework based on homophones this week while Sumdog has an arithmetic test set.

**Just a reminder: please don’t forget to put some loose change into your CAFOD envelopes. Many thanks.

Have a wonderful weekend,

The Year 5 Team

The children enjoyed dressing up as book characters for World Book Day. They will have received a WBD voucher attached to a letter earlier this week. See the photographs below for their costumes.

Good luck to Promise, James and Caitlin for next Friday, when they take part in the Poetry by Heart finals.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 Team
