Style in Art

We have sent time looking at lots of different pieces of art from different styles. We have compared them, looked at what makes them so different and discussed what we like and dislike about them. 

We have looked at: 

• Modernist Art 
• Rococo Art 
• Abstract Art
• Contemporary Art

We looked at work from different artists and even looked at how Modernist and Rococo styles even influenced furniture! 

Take a look at some of the work that they children produced for themselves below!

Making parachutes in Science

The children have been busy learning all about air resistance and how the shape of an object can effect the air resistance. Have a look at the photos below and ask your child all about what they found out from their investigation!

We are so lucky to have so many parents be able to join us for our first parent workshop of the year! 

Thank you to those who were able to attend! If you weren't able to attend, we have attached the slides as a PDF below for you to read in your own time. 

We hope that those who came got to learn all about the expectations of Y5 and how Mrs Hensman, Mrs Edgington and Miss Plant work together to support your children. We do have high expectations, but the children are already showing that they can live up to them! And with your support we hope that all the children will thrive and make lots of progress this year! 

Using our Micro:bit devices

Once the children had written their code to create their micro:bit devices, they used them to collect data about the litter we found around school grounds. They collect information about which litter could be recycled and which couldn't. 

MICRO:BITS

Year 5 really impressed Mrs Edgington with the coding skills! They worked well on putting together the "blocks" to write coded with told their micro:bits to show images, text, and then eventually worked to write code with variables where they created a device to count and collect data! 

Faith and Culture Week 

Year 5 learnt all about the Islamic faith. During our studies, we explored many aspects of the faith:

• What the Islamic faith is and what Muslims believe
• The many similarities with Islamic faith and Catholic faith
• All about the Mosque - how they are designed and what we would find inside
• We learnt about the Five Pillars of Islam and how Muslim people follow them
• Special celebrations and how Muslim people come together as a community, just as we do as Catholics

The class thoroughly enjoyed this topic and asked many questions to deepen their understanding. 

Well done, Year 5!
