In Art we have been working with pastels - techniques for creating effects with them and how they are differents to pencils and paints. 

Mrs Hennegan then gave each class a picture to recreate using pastels. Each person in the class had their own square they had to re-create and then Miss Laye has pieced them together to create a whole class pastel picture! It wasn't easy, but I think the end product is fab! 

I've included the orginal below....

We started our topic off with some Art - we wanted some for our display!

We looked back at the history of Mascots!

Looking back at where Olympics were held and what their Mascot was for that particular year ! 

In Y5 Maths wirh Miss Tysoe and Miss Laye, we have been learning all about angles! 

We had a go at measuring angles, but to make it more exciting - we created angles on our tables and measured those with our protractors! This was a great way to test our other knowledge about angles around a point and on straight line ! 

We have began the Summer term with one of Miss Tysoe's favourite events THE OLYMPICS! 

We will be learning so many things about the Olympics, but definitely looking back to Ancient Greece - where the Olympics began and London 2012 !

Egyptian Collar Art 

To start off out Egyptian Art topic we began by creating our own Egyptian Collars. 
We explored what jewellery Egyptians used to wear, looking at the colours and patterns of the jewels they chose and created our own, inspired by their designs.

As the new term begins, we will be venturing into the past and looking at the Ancient Egyptians. In science, we will be studying Light and Electricity and we look forward to sharing another fantastic book with our whole class reader.
