Year 5 Mr Moore 2021-2022

This week, we have been working on our innovate project: a detailed rescue plan to rescue passengers stranded on a capsized ship in Antarctica. Check out the voice memos some of the children have made to reassure the passengers. 

The children have loved researching all about Arctic tourism and life this week. We also got chance to learn all about the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. The children then got chance to create their own artwork using chalk. Check out the pictures below. 

This afternoon, the children were able to pretend to be explorers and build their own survival shelters. The children had an hour and limited supplies, other than what they could scavenge from the surrounding woodland in order to build them. Some groups managed to create superb shelters, which…

We’ve had a superb start to the term and our new topic, Frozen Kingdom. We’ve been investigating members of Shackleton’s 1914 expedition crew and looking at the behaviours of ice bergs by simulating a scaled down version in our classroom! Check out the photos to see our fabulous enquiries.

Over the past couple of weeks, the children have been learning to use the art app, Sketches. They have used their newly acquired skills to create cartoon mini beasts, the first editions of which you can see in the left-hand side columns of the picture collages. We then shared our pictures with our…

I am so lucky to have such a respectful and accepting class. The discussions we had with the visiting PCSOs and the discussions during class have been mature, thoughtful and respectful. I was so proud of everyone today weather they wore odd socks, matching socks or no socks - they all celebrated…

I have been blown away by the quality of the bug hotels that the children made this week. I think you will all agree how amazing and professional they look. Also, I’d like to pass on a huge thank you to all the grown-ups at home for sending in all the required resources.

We've had a superb start to our new topic: Beast Creator. During the afternoon on Monday, we took a trip into both our wildlife areas to hunt for mini beasts. We were very careful when uncovering spots where we thought we could find them and even more careful when placing items back. The children…

This week has been a superb week. Not only have we seen the most epic battle ever on TTRS and the two highest scoring children in our TTRS history, but we’ve also had a superb cultures week learning all about symbols within Christianity. Take a look at the work the children have created. I’m so…

I have been blown away by the quality of the topic homework that our children have produced this term! You should all be so proud of yourselves!

We have had a superb week, continuing our journey of discovering Ancient Egypt. This week the children were able to use all manner of objects, from cereal boxes to Lego to crates in order to create their pyramids and Egyptian artifacts. See the photos below. 

The children have had another superb week; honing their sketching skills and creating fact files on their favourite Pharaohs. Take a look at the examples above and below.
