YEAR 5

Term 1

2007 is shaping up to be an exciting and activity-packed year. This is what we’ve covered so far:

During this term we travelled back through Australian history books to learn about the lives of bushrangers. We created our own fictitious bushranger and presented his life story in a project. We worked hard to present our projects in creative ways. Here are some examples.

SCIENCE
In science we’ve been looking at a unit called “Spinning in Space” and learning all about the shape and sizes of the Sun, Moon and Earth through scale down models. We are currently finding out about shadows and how they are formed. These are some examples of the art activities we did as part of our science unit.

ART
We are budding artists in Year Five and during term one we have created several pieces of art work of which we are very proud. We have done collage, looked at cubism, symmetry and movement in space.

Term 2

In term two we are planning to study the Media with special emphasis on advertising. We’ll be looking at a variety of persuasive advertisements on television, in magazines, on the radio and in newspapers. We will be creating our own advertisements and presenting them to our class.
Stay tuned to learn how they turned out!
