Introduction

Welcome to Year 5/6 

with 

Mrs Henderson, Mrs Preston and Mrs Price

We hope you enjoy looking at the learning we have been doing and celebrating some of our achievements.

Since September 2014  we have been busy working towards different projects

Autumn 1 :

• 'Comparing a place in South America with our own environment'                                We chose to use the Amazon Rainforest as an area to compare with Saddleworth. Please see our page containing our Amazon Adventure Maths investigation where we had to create our own half term holiday adventure in the Amazon. 

Autumn 2 leading into Spring 1 

• 'Identifying and aspect of leisure in Tudor Times                                                             '  We focused on the development of Theatre and entertainment in Tudor/Elizabethan times with a focus upon Shakespeare and Macbeth.                                                        Please  see our page where we  share our group work: creating a stage upon which to make puppets  which performed our own playscripts of our chosen scenes from Macbeth.
• Macbeth final Theatre displays: 
  • We videoed our  final productions; these are some photos of each groups theatres and models we made. We felt so proud and had learnt so much about Set design, entrances and exits for characters, scenery, lighting and characterisation of puppets. 

Outdoor Learning January 2015:

• We found lots of fun and excitement, despite it being cold, when we carried out a treasure hunt using and applying our skills of BODMAS to solve problems.

Snowy Creative Lesson outside:

• Mrs Henderson asked all of KS2  to work together to create a structure where people could live. We had a fantastic time creating castles, forts, 'Snowhenge', igloos an done group even designed an Ice castle especially for Mrs Henderson!

Spring 1 leading into Spring 2:  

• 'Exploring Exloration in Tudor times and how this contributed to major turning points in British History including  how the monarchs supported exploration'                                Please  enjoy seeing our ongoing journeyThis is a self generated project encouraging individuals to independently research and present information about their chosen explorer identifying the impact  each had upon our world today.
