Take a look at the amazing work we have been completing in class!
For our DT project this term we looked at Food and Nutrition. This included investigating healthy and unhealthy foods, kitchen safety and preparing a main course and dessert. For our main course, we made a vegetable pie and for dessert we made an eggless sponge. The eggless sponge was a recipe from World War II so it linked to our History topic.
In the Spring Term Year 5 visited Wollaton Park. In our history topic we were learning all about the American Paratroopers who camped at Wollaton Park whilst preparing for World War II. We also learnt that after WWII Wollaton Park was used as a Prisoner of War Camp so we visited the park to see where they were based.
For DT in the Autumn term we designed and created working models of rides that would have been on a Victorian Fairground. In Year 5 we chose to create Ferris wheels.
In English we have written poems based on a Beowulf poem which we read in class - please click on the link below to see our work.
On Wednesday 19th March Year 5 went to vist the National Space Centre in Leicester

In English we have been writing some non-chronological reports all about the Romans.
This term we have been exploring pattern and colour theory to create stunning still life compositions.
For our DT Project this term we created prototypes of cages that could have been used to transport animals to the coliseum in Ancient Roman times (we did add a modern twist with an electrical circuit and a light).
