Year 5 - Spain

Children in Year 5 have been busy finishing off their volcanoes topic by creating detailed Powerpoint presentations. Next week we are going to start a new topic, Mayans and Aztecs. What do you know about these civilisations and what would you like to know? Can you research a fact to share next week? 

Yesterday we celebrated International Dance Day, this is a global celebration of dance, created by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute, the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO. The event takes place every year on 29th April, the anniversary of the birth of Jean-Georges Noverre, the creator of modern ballet.

In year 5 we had fun dancing along to some of our favourite tunes following the moves from Just Dance.

Today Mr Howlett came in to school to give us all a taste of tennis. We practised bouncing, handling the racket, some forehand and backhand and sending and receiving the ball

We are really proud of our volcanoes art work display! We used ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent Van Gogh as our inspiration and spent time practising his use of lines and colours – then we put these skills into our own volcano paintings.

Last week we combined our Science Week with our World Book Day celebrations. We were set a challenge to design a boat that could hold as many Red Noses (or other objects) as possible.
