Today in art we have drawn vessels and vases inspired by Magdalene Odundo in 2D. The pupils enjoyed using large movements to create different curved shapes and lines.

Today in art, we looked at another artist, Hermann Rorschach from Switzerland, who developed the inkblot test which is used to explore people’s personalities. We used his method to create some artwork of our own. 

Tuesday 23rd May 2023 

For art this term, our focus is on every picture tells a story. On Tuesday, we evaluated and analysed a mural by the artist Banksy. We discovered that the mural did not include British values so we altered the mural to make it more positive and included some of our wonderful British values.

Today, year 5 participated in a market. In the preparation leading up to it, children made posters, bunting and sandwich boards to advertise.

On the day of the market, the children worked as a team to prepare the items to be sold: fruit skewers, cheesecakes and butterfly bags. 

Take a look at their amazing efforts. 

In SPaG this week, we revised contracted words and had a go at completing a tarsia.

We have continued with our bridge structures and are beginning to create a Truss bridge from wood. We have tried something new (using a tenon saw) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Tuesday 28th March 2023

For their second lesson of D&T, year 5 made some Truss bridges out of straws. They used triangles to help reinforce the structure. They tested the the strength of their bridges by seeing how much weight it could could before the bridge collapsed. 

Monday 27th March 2023

This week year 5 have been learning about structures: bridges. Our first lesson consisted on investigating how to make bridges stronger.
