Year Five: December 2023

Another busy month in Year Five!

A brief dip into descriptive writing...

...before filming, editing and screening our anti-bullying play scripts.

There were exciting ends to our space and forces topics in science with the research, building and testing of rockets and bridges.

We looked at the everyday life of the Anglo Saxons and constructed a Lego timeline of streets through time from the Stone Age to modern day:

Stone Age

Romans

Anglo Saxons and Vikings

Modern Day

Now adept at all things Google Drawings, we perfected our vector drawing skills.

There was lots of music, both regular lessons and rehearsals for the Christmas carol concert, and the grand finale of indoor P.E. was the performance of space dances, the choreography of each group showing great progress and creativity.

What an amazing first term in Year Five!  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  See you in 2024!

Vector Drawings: Birds

We have further developed our ability to create vector drawings by learning how to use gradient colouring and layering of shapes. Work by Alice, Esme and Alfie can be found below.

Creating Vector Drawings

This afternoon, we have begun creating our own vector drawings. 

In this lesson, we identified the shapes that are used to make vector drawings. We now know that each element of a vector drawing is called an 'object'. Then we created our own vector drawings, by duplicating objects to save time. Some examples of our work can be found below.

Vector Drawings

The entire year group have been extremely excited to discover they can make their very own vector drawings.
