BPS Year 5

As part of the teddy take over today, Year 5 used their stuffed toys to act out the legend of Beowulf!

Year 5 explored Tudor portraiture last week, here are one of the sketches that were made.

We had some very dramatic portrayals of Grendel and Beowulf!

Year 5 have been performing their own adaptations of Beowulf this week!

Year 5 have been challenging themselves to build towers #resilience #ltfot #RRS

I don’t know about the children, but Year 5 teachers have been really enjoying the opportunity to take learning outside this week!

In today’s art lesson, we learnt to carefully observe and sketch the shape, texture and tone of plants - linked to our learning about plant reproduction earlier in the week.

Year 5 have been identifying the reproductive parts of flowers this week. We spotted the components of the stamen and carpel on flowers on our school field.

Al fresco timestables practice today!
