“We have created our own little family in school and thank everyone for keeping us safe.”

Hello Year 5,

We hope you are staying safe and well. We thought we would share with you some of the exciting things that our lovely children have been up to this week with Mrs Roberts, Miss Wilcox and Mrs Shaw, in case you wanted to try out any of them!

1. Building masks from cardboard and paint.

2. Making balloon models using modelling balloons and you tube tutorial, 

3. Making hugs to send to someone who needs one. 

(Mrs Roberts sent one to Mrs Rodgers and Miss Wilcox sent one to Miss Hanson) Even grown ups need a hug sending!

4. Made a rainbow of hands which we have displayed in the hall window for you to see when you enter via the hall doors,

5. Playing on the gym equipment and shark attack. 

6. Today we had our very own sports day with everyone receiving a certificate and an ice pop in the sun.

“We have created our own little family in school and thank everyone for keeping us safe.”

Are the words that have been shared this week.

Summer Topic

Comparing People and Places

Our new topic will be looking at the similarities and differences between people and places. This will include a lot of cross-curricular work within subjects such as geography, maths, ICT, art and DT. Below you will find a range of tasks for you to work your way through.  We will continue to update this page with tasks so make sure to keep checking. 

1. Where on earth are we?

Explore Yorkshire using google maps and an online conventional map which can be found at  //magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx Consider looking at: Sheffield, Doncaster, York and Hull and considering their differences and similarities of both physical and human geography. 

Then create your own map of where you live

Extra Challenge: Make a 3-d scaled map of your local area

2. Attract Visitors

After coronavirus many businesses will have lost a lot of money. Therefore your task is to research the attractions we have in Doncaster that would attract visitors to the area to boost the economy, Once you have researched popular things to do and see in Doncaster, create an advert, brochure, poster that would attract visitors to Doncaster. Remember attractions can be both physical (think canals, the river don, parks) and human features. 

3. Urban working life vs Rural working life

Jobs in urban and rural communities tend to be very different. Research urban and rural jobs. then choose a job that you would find in an urban setting and job you would find in a rural setting. 

Answer these questions:

To do these jobs what 5 steps would you have to take?

Why would it be difficult to do that job in the opposite setting?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a rural setting?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a urban setting?

You can present your findings how you wish, this could be a video of you explaining your findings, through adobe spark video (like we have used in school) which is free to sign up for and use at https://spark.adobe.com/sp/, a powerpoint, a poster or simply a pieces of writing. The choice is yours.
