Year 5 Learning Gallery 3
Here are some examples of the pieces of work that Piran has produced this week. Piran has written an excellent narrative poem about Poseidon. I am really proud of Piran for using the figurative language techniques we have been learning. Piran has also produced his own art work inspired by our Greek artist - Nikos Engonopoulos - I love the beach theme Piran. Piran has also been practising the Greek alphabet!
Here is Darcey’s Greek narrative poem. Darcey has worked exceptionally hard planning and writing her poem using the figurative language techniques we have been leaning. Well done Darcey.
Oscar has had lots of fun in the snow this week - he decided to make a volcano! Oscar decided to add different food colouring to see what effect it would have. He found out that the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar react chemically because one is a base and the other is an acid. Oscar told me, “Bicarbonate of soda is a basic compound called sodium bicarbonate. Vinegar is a diluted solution that contains acetic acid. The bicarbonate of soda and vinegar reaction is actually two separate reactions. The first reaction is the acid-base reaction.When vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are first mixed together, hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the powder. The result of this initial reaction is two new chemicals: carbonic acid and sodium acetate.”
Here is some of Jessica’s work from this week. Jessica has been working really hard learning how to tell the time using analogue and digital clocks. Jessica has also been finding similes and metaphors to use within her writing. I love Jessica’s K-Nex creation!

Noah created this piece of art work to celebrate Children’s Mental Health week. Noah melted wax crayons with a hairdryer onto paper to make a mess! Noah is going to frame this once it has set and hang it in a frame. It’s called “Lockdown 2021 got messy.” Noah chose to do this as it is a way of expressing himself through getting messy! Noah completed this with his sisters and brother.
Here are some photos of the Year 5 and 6 children in schools amazing newspaper reports! This week we focused on writing a newspaper report based on the discovery of planet Pandora.
