DIVERSITY TREE

In PSHE students made leaves for our Diversity Tree. Their leaves were filled with things they liked and which make them unique: their culture, country, race, ethnicity, languages spoken and religion.

JAMES BOND SCIENCE

In Science lessons students helped James Bond overcome Spectre using different forces found in nature. These included: friction, upthrust, water resistance and air resistance.

ELEMENTS

Year 5s created mixed-media artworks based on the four elements. They divided a circle into four sections to represent Earth, Fire, Water and Air. To create each section, they used oil pastels, coloured pencils, paint, tissue paper, charcoal and natural resources like soil and twigs.

THE PRE-INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

In the Spring term we looked at how the countryside changed during the Industrial Revolution. These paintings by Marley and Poppy show the pre-industrial revolution landscape, inspired by famous artists of the time.

FIVE RHYTHMS

In Drama, we did the Five Rhythms by Gabrielle Roth for five weeks. The five rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness and are a set of different types of dances and music where anyone can join in.

GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851

Our Spring enquiry topic was Victorian Society and the Industrial Revolution. The children researched innovators of the time and this led them to look at the Great Exhibition of 1851, a celebration of modern industrial technology and design. They created newspaper articles and shoebox scenes. We even put on a play telling the story of how the exhibition was set up and some of the weirder things you could have seen there like the Tempest Prognosticator and the first public toilets.
