REMEMBRANCE DAY

To commemorate Remembrance Day we read the famous poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae. We considered the powerful words and wrote a decorative page in honour of the fallen heroes.

'We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders Fields'

COMPUTING - VECTOR DRAWINGS

In computing, we have been learning about how to create vector drawings using Google Drawing. We spent a morning in the ICT Suite practising our skills and creating increasingly more complex vector drawings of houses, rockets, owls and penguins.

WOMAN IN HISTORY - PIONEERS IN SCIENCE

As part of our women in history topic, we researched amazing STEM women who achieved scientific firsts. We then presented our information in an exciting way.

BEAMISH

To complement our history topic of Women Through History, Year five enjoyed a wonderful trip back in time to Beamish. At Beamish we were able to explore the 1913 town (including a stop at the sweet shop) and the new 1950's town.

After lunch, we got dressed up in order to take part in our very own march through town culminating in a debate in the bandstand. The children came away delighted with the experience and cannot wait to return.

ROUNDING GAME

In maths, we have been learning how to round to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. To complement our learning, we worked together to find all the combinations of three rolled dice and what they can be rounded to.

OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

As part of the first week in 5DB, we looked at the famous Dr Seuss book Oh The Places You'll Go. This book explores the ups and downs that we all experience throughout the journey of life. The children thoroughly enjoyed talking about the themes of the book and produced fantastic work.

On the first day reading the book, we discussed the themes of perseverance, decision-making and journies. 

We put important scenes of the story in order, producing wonderful illustrations in the style of Dr Seuss.

We considered our aims and aspirations for this year, until the end of school and for the rest of our lives.

We played the role of agony aunt or uncle to give advice to the boy to escape the situations he finds himself in throughout the book. 

VAN GOGH STYLE SELF-PORTRAITS

During transition day, we created self-portraits using the style of our first artist in year 5, Vincent Van Gogh. The children enjoyed experimenting with colours and styles.
