Henry Ford Spring 2023
Impressionism
Our new Art topic in year 5 is all about the impressionist movement. This week we explored landscape painting in the style of Monet. The class worked with paints using small quick touches. We used our colour mixing skills to create the shades we needed.
DT
We turned ourselves into structural engineers in DT to investigate how bridges are made. We looked at the trusses and how these support the main structure of the bridge.
RE
In our RE lessons with Mrs Boulby we have been looking into Judaism and the different celebrations they enjoy. Focusing mainly on the Sefer Torah Scroll of prayers, we created our own version including songs, prayers and messages that are important to us.
Science
In science we have been looking at the reversible and irreversible changes of state and how components react when mixed together.
We decided to take our learning outside so we didn't burn the place down.
We did an experiment to see what happens when we mixed Bicarbonate of soda with malt vinegar. The results were fizztastic!!!
Relief Sculpture
In Art sessions with Mrs Whittle year 5 have explored relief sculpture. They had to design and create their own self portrait using clay using the technique we had learnt.

Sharing a Story
Michelle Bennett (mbennett) on: Henry Ford Autumn 2022
Having completed all our training to be Reading Partners, this week was the time we were able to put our work into practice! We met Reception for the first time and introduced ourselves to our partners. It was a great first session and Reception were so excited to meet the Year 5 children and share a story together. George P must have had good phonic training as he was helping his partner to sound out the words in the books (but monster might be a little advanced for Reception in week 3!)
Are you sitting comfortably...?

Another opportunity for us to make a positive contribution to life at Scissett Academy. We have had our training as Reading Partners and are looking forward to teaming up with Reception Class to mentor them as reading partners.
We all love a good story and will enjoy revisiting some of our well-loved, classic stories. You are never too old for the Gruffalo!
Sports Leaders

One of the important roles Y5 have chance to do is that of Play Leader. Mr Davidson from our Pyramid Sports Partnership put us through our paces this week, teaching us how to organise and run games for younger children in school. The session was great fun, as it gave us the opportunity to devise our own game ideas!
Out of this world!

Today we were modelling the orbital relationships between the sun, moon and Earth. Did you know that the orbit path is elliptical rather than circular? We were getting a little dizzy doing this...
