Daring DT!

For our DT project we designed, made and evaluated embroidered collages. We learned how to sew the running stitch and cross stich. The hardest part was threading the needle!! Well done year 5 your resilience was AMAZING 

Amazing Art

In art lessons this term we have been creating marvellous mountain pictures using bold colours and patterns for a striking effect. Pretty striking! We have created pictures of Earth too using oil pastels. We smudged them to get a 3D effect. 

Creative Contours!

As part of our Geography topic: "We are going river deep and mountain high", we have been looking at how higher ground is shown on maps. We learned about contour lines and made models to show how they work.

Beautiful poetry!

This term we have been learning how to read poetry with expression. We wrote our own poems too inspired by Kit Wright's The Magic Box. They are amazing!!

Year 5 Super Star!!

Our super caring Maddie has rescued two ex battery-farm chickens! What a fantastic thing to do! She has made some vegan cupcakes and honoured the chickens (Emily and Charlotte!) by using them to inspire her decorations!!! So proud of you Maddie xxx

 Its great to be back at school! We have had a very busy time since we came back.

Friday 7th January 2021

Good morning kids. It was great to get pictures from Reece and Nikita yesterday. Thanks boys you made me very happy and produced some super work 

Here is your work for today. Please remember to work as neatly as you can, date each piece of work and give it a title.

Spellings: Practicing words with double letters

English: I have managed to add the link today so you can listen to Cave Elves by clicking below!! We are going to continue using the Cave Elf text to get a really good idea of what Cave Elves are like and how they live. Today I want you to read or listen to the text again and this time using what you have read or heard write down a menu that you think a Cave Elf would like. Then have a look at activity 5 and write me a detailed list of items that a Cave Elf would need in his/her knapsack - a picture would be lovely too.  

Art: In art this term we are going to be looking at portraits. Look at the portraits below

(download the document for a larger version) Think about how artists have shown the person.  As a mother? As a friend? As an important person? Friendly? Funny? Frightening? Thoughtful?

Think about why portraits are made, eg to record an important time in a person's life, to project a powerful image of the person, to show people as wealthy, clever or hard working.

Choose one portrait and describe these details in your book:

•the person or people and the objects they are holding, what they are wearing, where they are, 

•the main shapes and colours in the image 

•how the image makes you feel about the person portrayed. What sort of person is this? What is the person doing? What does the image tell you about the person? Would you like to meet them? Why/why not? What would you ask them? 

You are going to practice drawing a portrait today. Watch video ( or click on the link at the bottom):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXlO6ocidiY

In pencil have a go at drawing portraits in your book.

Think about how can you make a portrait more “personal”/ look like the person you are drawing. Facial features e.g. freckles, shape of nose, mouth and eyes. Types of hair and clothing.

Experiment drawing yourself and send me pictures! I can't wait!

Maths: Complete the maths Mrs Freestone set on Monday.

Please send me pictures of all of your work, I love to see them. Have fun xxx

Thursday 7th January 2021

Good morning petals. I hope you got on with your work OK yesterday. It was good to hear from Justas, I'm glad I could help with your question  The answers to yesterdays spelling activity and English activity are below.

Spellings:

Your spellings today are practicing choosing the correct words for each sentence. I will post the answers tomorrow. Make sure you spell them correctly!

English:

Please type in this web address:    https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/whisperer/s-im7KkHzc880

or click on the link at the bottom of today’s work and listen to Pie Corbett reading the text you read yesterday: Cave Elves.

I would like you to complete the activity below making sure that you clearly label the picture using information and phrases from the text.

Then complete activity 3 by copying the map into your book and marking clearly where you think the cave elves might live. You will need to listen to the text or read it again to work out where a good place would be. Don’t forget to give me three reasons.

Topic

The painting you looked at yesterday was by the artist William Frederick Yearnes and it was painted in 1878! It is called "When did you last see your father?" and shows a family who have been captured by the enemy during the English Civil war. The boy is being questioned about the where his father is. We will look at this painting again later on in the topic. Soooo our topic this term called We are going to Newark in the 1600's and we are going to be finding out about life in Newark during this time and about The Civil War. Today I would like you to look at our Topic Knowledge organiser which has lots of important information all about the 1600's and the Civil War. When you have read it write down 5 questions that an adult in your house could answer by reading the knowledge organiser themselves. They could write the answers in your book. If no adult can do this write the questions and email them to me or send me a photo of them and I will have a go!

Dont forget to click on the documents at the bottom of todays work to see larger versions and PLEASE send me pictures of your work! Have fun xxxx

Wednesday 6th January 2021.

Hello lovelies! I'm so sad that I haven't got to see you all after Christmas, but I hope you had a great time and Santa came!! So here we are under lockdown again and just like last time I will post work on here for you on Wednesdays, Thursday and Fridays and Mrs Freestone will post work on Monday and Tuesdays. Please email us if you have any problems or if you need to collect a new work book from school. 

For each piece of work write the date and a title. 

• For spellings today we are going to practice some tricky orange words. We will start a new spelling unit next week.
• For the next few weeks in English we are going to be working on a unit called "The Ultimate guide to elves and sprites!" We will be be writing an information text about a type of elf or sprite. To start us off I would like you to read the information about Cave Elves and complete the activity.
• We are starting our new history topic but I'm not going to tell you what it is yet! I would like you to look at the painting below and use your detective skills! Think about, then answer these questions: What do you think is happening? When is it set? Who are the people? Are they rich, poor, friendly, related? What is the mood? What is the man writing? Who are the girls and why are they crying?

• Why have I shown you this picture at the start of our topic.    I will explain more about the painting tomorrow!

• Please complete your maths from Mrs Freestone

If children are working from home due to covid restrictions please follow the link below for lessons on bitesize.

Also keep reading and practise your times tables on TTRockstars!

Year 5 Routines

Year 5 start school at 8:45am and finishing at 3:15pm. An adult from the Year 5 team will meet the children at the large gate on George Street.  We will then check their temperature using a thermometer to the wrist.  When the children arrive in the school building, they will wash their hands and use the hand sanitizer provided.  This will be repeated throughout the day.

Staff

Mrs Freestone (class teacher Mon,Tues) and Mrs Stafford (class teacher Wed, Thurs, Fri)

Mrs Fixter and Mrs Lambert (teaching assistants)

PE

PE will be on a Tuesday and the children are to come in school on this day in their PE kit: school jumper, plain navy/black/grey jogging trousers or shorts and a plain white/navy/black/grey T-shirt with trainers is expected. PE will be done outside, weather permitting. We will review the additional indoor PE session over the term, alongside government guidelines.

Reading

Your child will choose a reading book. When they change their book, they must place it in the quarantine box before they go back into circulation. 

Learning and well-being

The main focus for the first half term is to help settle your child back into school after such a long period out of education. There will be many opportunities to share and discuss their lock-down experiences, worries and support with gaps in learning.

Our topic this term is ‘We are going to War time Europe’.  We have lots of exciting learning planned across all subjects linked to this topic.

Contact

Due to the school following guidelines to ensure the safety of the whole school community, communication will be different to what we are used to with parents/carers. If you have any questions or need to pass on information please do not hesitate to contact me via email: lfreestone@loverslane.notts.sch.uk or jstafford@loverslane.notts.sch.uk  and we will get back to you at the nearest opportunity.

Almost half term already!

The children have settled fantastically in year 5 and have already produced some amazing work. We are learning all about World War 2 this term so look out for photographs of work that will be posted soon.
