Which planet will you visit?

Cream Class – green screen wizards

Year 5 have been the first to experiment with green screen in their film making.

Which incredible location will you choose if the earth is hit by a meteor?

Year 5 Planetarium Visit!

As our IPC topic is called ‘Mission to Mars’ and we are learning about Earth and space, it seemed a great idea to invite a planetarium to visit the year 5 classes. We were so excited! For some of us it was our first time to visit one. The entrance was really exiciting too! We learnt about seasons, night and day and star constellations. We learnt so much from Matthew and said so at the end too!

Year 5 Mission to Mars (ENTRY POINT)

To start off our IPC topic, the whole of year 5 went to the Science Museum. We watched a 3D film about a NASA moon landing and explored the science and space area. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it was a great way to start off our super space learning!

Year 5- Mission to Mars

Year 5 enjoyed a trip to the IMAX cinema in the science museum. They watched an animation which used fiction to tell the facts of the first men on the moon.

Pearl Class – shared mythical animation

Pearl Class created a shared animation – using 2d figures and backdrops, taking the shots and editing the whole using two different sets of software.

Fantastic collaborative work!  Watch it below:

Cream Class animations

Year 5 had their first go at making stop-frame animations based on their theme of Monsters, Warriors and Gods

Year 5 Entry Point – Thinking about drugs!

Today in Year 5 we had a visit from a pharmacist, Daniel, and PC Mark Denny. They spoke to us about drugs and the implications of taking them. Daniel taught us about legal drugs and how even over the counter medicine can be dangerous if we don’t take it correctly. PC Denny spoke to us about illegal drugs and the consequences of ‘being in possession’.  We had an interesting morning and had a lot of our questions answered, but we still have more to find out…

Year 5 Exit Point!

In the last week of term Year 5 invited parents, brothers and sisters, teachers and Year 4 to come and share our learning. We gave the adults the chance to carry out our experiments and explained the science behind them!

Irreversible Changes

This week in our science and IPC learning we were focussing on irreversible changes, we used borax and glue to create plastic and then used different strategies to stretch a curly wurly bar as long as possible!

It was great fun and we learnt the meaning of reversible and irreversible changes.
