Year 5 Camp

Last weekend Year 5 camped on the school field.  We did lots of activities, such as zorbing, a water fight, making shelters, toasting marshmallows on the fire and a treasure hunt.  We had a brilliant, lovely, awesome time.

This week year 5 have been making modern Olympic pots and decorated them with white paint and drew on a design and coloured them in with felt tips. We enjoyed making them and we hope you like them.

Art - Through My Window Collage

As part of the local geography topic 'Through My Window' year 5 have created landscape collages.  Each picture is a view from the child's house window.  They did a sketch at home as a home learning activity and worked from this to create some fantastic art work.

 

Geography - Fieldword Around Blandford St Mary

This is us doing the traffic survey.

Recently Year 5 had a trip around Blandford St Mary.  On the trip we did a survey on the traffic coming from and to Dorchester. Also we had a look at the natural areas, amenities, shops and services. We thought about the quality of different environments.  For example, by the Dorchester Road it was very noisy, over 100 decibels.  In a traffic survey we counted 18 cars, 1 bike and 1 lorry in just 1 minute. This was very different to Stour Meadows where there is a variety of nature and much quieter. In BSM we have a Tesco and a Homebase store. We also found out that the population of BSM was 1460 in 2007.

History - Visit to Nothe Fort

On Monday the 26th of March Year 5 went on a school trip to Nothe Fort, Weymouth. It was a great trip and we learnt alot about life in Britain during World War Two.  For example, we learnt WWII songs, how children got evacuated, what it felt like in a air raid shelter (Anderson and Morrison), 1940's shopping and laundry room, and what it was like at school.
