Foxes

Year 5

Last Year!
Have a look below to see some of the things we got up to last year!

Art photography

This half term, Foxes art unit has been photography and our computing has been photo editting. The children have been taking photos with frames, taking photos from different perspectives and investigating what lighting changes in a photo. See some of our photos below!

Solent sky museum

Foxes class went on a school trip to help us with our history learning (Southampton then and now). We spent the morning at Solent sky museum, getting to sit in different fighterr jet and seeing a real life spitfire! Then we went on a walk to see the Southampton walls and we even found some soldier who had carved their names into the wall.

Question of Faith Day

Year 5 have all engaged in our annual Question of Faith day. The children have been looking at Community and belonging. We have discussed the story of the Good Samaritan, draw which communities we belong to and create a story cube.

DT - Making desk organisers

Foxes have been creating durable structures to create a desk organiser. We used cardboard, toilet rolls and glue guns to create them! The design process was challenging but we made it!

TT Rockstar Winners!

Art - Collage

Foxes have been using Kandinsky's art style this half term. We have been using different tactile resources to create group collages.

Bikeability

Foxes have had an exciting visit this week. The Bikeability team have been practising their cycling skills both in school and on the roads!

Science - Sundials

Foxes have been looking at Earth and space so far in their Science lessons. They have been investigating how we can prove that the Earth is spherical. One way we looked at was how shadows are created so we made sundials to look at this further.

Maths - Place Value

Year 5 have been working practically in Maths this week to represent and partition numbers. We have been increasing the size of the numbers, up to 100,000.
