Hi Year 5!
I hope you have taken the time to enjoy the Easter holidays and appreciate this time spent with your family. I have enjoyed relaxing with my family and eating Easter eggs! I have been doing PE with Joe Wicks, baking, completing jigsaws and reading too!
I am glad to see that many more of you are completing online learning including SpellingShed, MyMaths and TTRockstars so do keep this up.
Please make sure you are completing some of the activities shown on the website. There are opportunities for you to write, be active and work practically so choose a variety and keep it fun!
I hope you are enjoying completing the Kahoot quizzes! Quite a few of you have completed them, which is great. When it asks you to enter your name, I am happy for them to be fun or imaginative but please make it link to your actual name so I know who has completed the quiz. At the minute, the names are a little crazy and I am finding it difficult to figure out who is who!
Thank you to those who have emailed some pictures and examples of work to our new class email account, which is year5@eastbierleyprimary.com. Please try to email me at least once a week as I am missing our time at school together and so it would be great to see that you are learning and having fun at home.
We miss you all!
Stay safe.
Miss Williams, Mrs Webb and Mrs Robson
Learning Project - to be completed through the week
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about the area in which they live. Learning may focus on your local area, famous people, key landmarks and links to your city.
An Architectural Masterpiece: Design a new building/structure to inspire the residents of your local town or city. You must research, plan, design and then make a model of it using materials from around the house. Create a success criteria and then evaluate your model against this. Think about which materials you will use and how their properties could impact the strength of your structure.
Promoting Your Local Area: A visitor from another country is coming to stay in the city for a week. You really need to impress them by showing them the most interesting places in your local area. Where would you take them each day? Plan the itinerary for each day detailing the transport that will be taken to each location, how long will be spent there, what will be eaten and any activities that may take place.
Where in the World: Investigate how to use Google Earth or Google Maps and look at the geographical features of East Bierley, Aberystwyth and Perth (Australia). How are these places the same? How are these places different? What impacts the similarities and differences? Choose three different places and do the same thing, it may be places that you would like to visit. Do you notice any patterns?
Titus Salt, a timeline: Titus Salt had a significant impact on Bradford, in particular Saltaire. Create a timeline detailing the history of Titus Salt and Saltaire. Remember to include dates and details of significant events. How did Titus Salt impact the local area positively in the 1800s? How does Titus Salt and the building of Saltaire impact the local area positively now?
David Hockney: David Hockney is a local artist who was born in and studied in Bradford. When visiting Saltaire on our school trip, you may have noticed some of his artwork in the mills. Research his artwork and pick out what is similar in his art pieces. Have a go at recreating a piece of his art using resources at home such as crayons, paint, felt tips. Can you create your own artwork in the style of David Hockney?
