Friday 6th February 2020 - Number Day!
Today we celebrated Number Day! In Year 5, we played lots of exciting number based games like Monopoly, Mathopoly and Triominos!
As well as this, we took place in a whole school competition in which we competed against the whole school sharing our times tables knowledge - we did really well but sadly did not win!

As we've continued travelling through time, we have made a stop in history much closer to home! In the 1700 and 1800 hundreds, some houses in Essex were decorated with pargeting like these homes below.
After some research, we designed our own examples in our sketechbooks. Then, we continued by making them out of clay. Here are some photos of us hard at work!

Today was a combination of all the hard work we have been doing this half term! We put together a class assembly which took our parents on a journey through time!
Inspired by the time travelling of Doctor Who and Minty in 'Moondial', we journeyed back to the Stone Age and showed off our cave painting artwork; our next stop took us to 1066 where we recreated the Battle of Hasting; we also visited the Renaissance period where we visited artists like Da Vinci and Michelangelo; our last stop was in London during the Great Plague of 1665 - we even had rats!
The journey allowed us to share our learning and even gave us time afterwards to share even more knowledge with our parents!

Over the past couple of weeks, we have become time travellers. We've travelled through time to visit the Stone Age, the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and most recently, we visited London during the Great Plague in 1665!
However, it was our stop in Renaissance period Italy that made us learn some quite different skills. We took inspiration from Michelangelo and had a go at painting a ceiling - in reality, we laid under the tables and created our own versions of the artwork found on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
