Year 5 Class

Welcome to the last Year 5 Class Page for

this school year!

 

We would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you all for all of your hard work during these somewhat challenging times. We are so, so proud of each and every one of you. We have absolutely loved teaching you this year and were very sad that it was cut abruptly short in March by the pandemic. However, you have all been amazing at keeping us up-to-date with your work, adventures and achievements – it has kept us busy but we have loved having the contact with you.
Have a wonderful summer holiday. Please stay safe and enjoy a few weeks off before you start back in September as Year 6! We know you will be fantastic in this role and enjoy all the responsibilities and opportunities that it will give you.

 

If you would like to contact either Mrs Taylor or Mrs Hudson, you can use the following email address:

If you would like to contact Mrs Lloyd or Miss Owen please use the following one:

All About Me

This week the work we have set is all about you! We thought it would be a really good idea for you to write a bit about yourself so that the Year 6 teachers, Mrs Lloyd and Miss Owen, will know a bit more about you.
Work your way through the different activities throughout the week. If you are not in school, you may like to email us your work or drop it into school so we can pass it over.

For an update on the water parsnips, watch the video below sent from Natasha from the Water Mills and Marshes team.

 

For Week 9 and the last of the posts, it’s a great topic – Ghosts, Myths and Magic of the Broads National Park! WMM has teamed up with Weird Norfolk and artist Jazz Owen of Norwich University of Arts, who allowed them to use her stunning pictures based on the various tales – so do have a spine tingling look.

This week’s Activity is all about writing a ghost story based in the Broads National Park.

Make your own model of Macbeth’s castle.

If we had been in school, Mr. Stannard would have rejoined us and would have been teaching you. As that cannot happen, we have been in contact with him so he can set you a challenge some weeks that you may like to complete.

This week, as part of our work on Macbeth, you could create Macbeth’s castle using junk materials you have at home.

If you would like some inspiration, you could use this site.

Do send us a picture of your work so we can share it on our class page!

The Broads Authority is running a “Broads in Miniature Competition” until June 24th  with a chance for anyone to win a Broads Goody bag and Columbia voucher.

See this link for more information.

Art

For this week’s art activity, you will need tin foil. The challenge is to create tin foil sculptures and aliens. Some of you who have been in school will have already had a go at this but why not have a go at creating a tin foil wizard to link with our English work.
