The children worked hard today to get the outline correct and from there, the portraits really came together…can’t wait to add more texture to their sketches tomorrow!
XP Outdoors – Year 5 Tent Race!
This morning, Year 5 took part in the exciting XP Outdoor challenge Green Top’s Tent Race! The race was all about Crew building, speed, commutation and a lot of fun.
Each team raced to put up a Tipi tent as quickly as possible, squeezed inside to show it could hold everyone, then took it down and dashed to the next setup point. There, they worked together again to pitch a second tent, made sure the whole team passed through it—and then it was a full-speed home run to the finish line!
Class 7 self portraits!
Class 7 have been working super hard on their self portraits today. Although, tricky, we have worked hard and shown lots of courage!
Class 8 self portraits
Today, class 8 have had their first taste of drawing portraits. We struggled with trying to get the proportions right but everyone tried really hard with the shape of the head and the facial features. We can’t wait to do some portraits of monarchs later on in the week!
Year 5 Family Learning
We are excited to confirm details of our Family Learning event on Wednesday 7th May. We ask parents to arrive at the office at 2pm for a fun filled hour with our children where we will be building on our skills in chair drumming! Let’s hope the sun keeps shining!
Crew Spetch – Job roles in the mine
This morning in our history lesson, we investigated the different job roles in the mine and discussed what life would have been like for miners.
We used our new knowledge of the different job roles to create freeze frames. The children loved this and I was really impressed with the creativity of their freeze frames! What a great discussion based lesson, it was great to hear all of your wonderful ideas!
