Hunslet Moor Primary School_Year 5

Year 5 final DT project. The design brief ..to make a mobile phone holder. It has put our sewing skills to the test. We have some great outcomes.

Music session focusing on call and response. Do you like walking the dog?

Here in year 5 we have been entering code to make our sprites move. We enjoyed the challenge of creating 2 conditions in the code.

Off Curriculum Day 2 tomorrow!! This is going to be an amazing day and I hope you are all excited because I am! Tomorrow will be a day for you all to love and remember! Some of the things you may learn and do in your groups might be something you never get to do again!

We completed a 1 mile walk around the playground and created jars of colours that represented their emotions.

Healthy living day went well! We had a lovely sensory walk around school to find leaves and trees to do pencil rubbings from them. They then created a collage of leaf rubbings and put their hand on top covered in 5 positive things about themselves.

Moon phases made out of oreos! The kids loved it, worked well in their groups and made excellent Moons! They said the Moon didn't taste of cheese though!

We were looking at the shadow created on the 'Moon' from the Sun. Here is Miss Fielding showing the children what it could look like as the Moon casts a shadow on Earth.

Working on PSHE snakes and ladders to help them discuss and understand the topic of bullying.

We created a long term science experiment last term to create salt crystals over time with evaporation! They are looking AMAZING so far!!

Here are some of the children in 5B at the front performing and reading their Greek based myths to the rest of the class. They were all very proud to show off their hard work!

In English we have some fantastic performers! We wrote our own myths based off Greek mythology and they were able to act out some of their ideas. Maybe next time we need to get parents in to see them do this!

On our Greek day we created a Greek salad that you may have had the chance to try when they god home, and also created olive wreaths to wear. Easy to say they LOVED it!

Here are some more of our Greek vases. As you can see some of them have people depicted on them as the Greeks did.

Last term our History topic was the Greeks! So in Art we created Greek inspired vases, learning new clay moulding skills.

Firstly, we had a STEM day last term and our focus scientist was Galileo and his pendulums. The children had loads of fun trying to work out how you changed the speed of the pendulum. Only some of them managed it in the end!

Hello Everyone! So sorry about the silence on here, but Year 5 were having some issues with twitter. We are now back and want to update you to all the things we have been doing so far this year!
