Viking Jewellery.

This week in year 5 we have been making Viking Jewellery. Viking Jewellery is really posh.We have been focusing on the broaches.The broaches are pins with decorating on it.
We made two broaches that are going to be pined on the shoulders or maybe the front.
From the broaches, their are going to be beads or diamonds hanging, as a necklace.

We have been making the model for it, out of Model Magic. Model Magic is much, much,
much better than Clay or Plasticine.
When we finished the model, we placed it on the window sill, and waited for it to harden overnight.

Hopefully when it is hardened, we can paint it in: gold, bronze and copper. And then, we can put diamonds and beads on it to make it look lovely, and really pretty.If you wear the broaches, you'll look beautiful, and people will want to take it off you. But sadly they do not exist.

But you can take some from Glade year 5. Actually you cant only find these in 5m you can also find them in museum's also we've not only done the viking jewellery we are going to make viking long boat made out of WOOD!

Hope you enjoy looking at our Viking Jewellery,
thankyou.

Viking Jewellery

This week in year 5,we have been making Viking Jewellery. We made Viking Brooches for Viking clothes.Our class used Model Magic for the base and the detailed bits on our Brooch.We let them dry near the window.Once they were dried,we painted them.We had three options of paint.They were Gold, Bronze and Copper. After the Brooches had been painted they looked fabulous, but we weren't finished.The detailed bits we made were painted in blue,red,green and black(acrylic paint). All of us made our own beads with different colours and then put them on strings. Finally we taped them on to the Brooches,after all the hard work we glitter glued them then we were finished.

China Week!(dragons).

This week in year 5, a big event has been happening, it is China Week!. We have been focusing on the Dragon.(roar!).
We have been in different groups to focus on Dragons.(to bad their not real).We have also made Hanfu (Chinese robes).
Maybe our teacher might hang them on the ceiling.
It will look very nice,(hopefully).
European Dragons are very EVIL, and Chinese Dragons are traditional, they are most likely respected as gods.(they are not gods, they are treated like that).
Some say that Dragons have the power to control all four elements (fire,water,earth,lightning) when Chinese people are caught using their image, other than the emperor, they will be put to death, (not European people, don't worry}, and Dragons make floods, explosions, earthquakes and terrible storms.
We had, a wonderful time enjoying all the activities.

Sounds and other stuff

This week in year five, we have been investigating sound waves, frequency, vibrations and pitch,
(not a football pitch!).
And also we got to do an experiment with all the equipment to do with vibrations. Like a Wind Tube, wind tube eg: when you swing it really fast it sounds high, and when you swing it slow it sounds low.
Weve also been learning about the Vikings long house man there long wonder why they call it long house.
Lets change the topic, anyway this week in science we have been making Sound Coat Hangers.
Well thats all folks we will see you next week, for another wonderful week....

thank you
