Year 5 - Jade Class and Lime Class
Autumn 1
Year 5 have had a busy start to the school year with some fantastic learning happening in all subjects.
The children have been engrossed in the gory side of history with our Crime and Punishment unit. They loved visiting Bradford Police Museum and finding out what a hard life it was for a Victorian thief. The slightly sinister theme continued into English lessons where we wrote persuasive letters to ask for the conviction of Agnes Waterhouse for being a witch and persuasive adverts to sell a Tudor punishment device.
Creative Arts week was a particular highlight as we combined our science learning about Earth and Space with our artistic skills to create some fine pastel drawings of our planet from space. While National Poetry Day that week saw us thinking about harvest time and creating Haiku poems, which we performed in the harvest assembly.
There was lots of creativity on show in DT as well, when we designed structures for a playground. We thought about useful materials and ways to strengthen structures and all the children focussed really well to produce their prototype.
Lime class also worked really hard to present their class assembly which showcased, not only their learning, but their great acting skills!
