Greek sandals!

Today in year 5, it has been Ancient Greek Day. We have finally made our Greek sandals! We added some sequinces, dazzledots, pom poms, ribbons, shiny paper and card. This is a short video of some of our sandals.

Ancient Greek Day.

In year 5, we have been dressing up as Ancient Greeks. We had lots of fun, we done lots of exciting activities.
We have done ancient greek posters, we made greek shoes for the gods and goddesses.
We found out that, the shoe was made out of animal skin. It was soaked in water, and other liquids...The clothes were normaly white, brown, and bage. Mens clothes were called a Chiton, and ladys clothes were called a Paplos. And the rich people wore colourful clothes with diomonds
and patterns on their clothes...They made the colours by herbs, abd plants.

Zeus Statue!!

This week in year five we learnt about one of the ancient wonders of the world, the temple of Zeus. We looked at a video about the temple and we wrote bullet point facts up into our morning books. Then we wrote it up into our foundation book in paragraphs and this is what we wrote.

In Ancient Greece everyone would take pride in the Olympics in the stadium. They built it for the Olympics and the statue of Zeus. A stone would be held every year, and on the statue he is holding a septa. There is a man called Phidius and he is the person that built the statue. Inside it was made of wood and on the outside it was made of gold, lots of jewels, ivory which was made of elephants trunks. I found this very cruel.

Ancient Greek Sandals for a Greek god

In year 5,we have been making Greek sandals for Greek gods in art.We first drew two designs in our art books of our chosen Greek god. Secondly we wrote a description of what god it is,why we chose it,what designs we put on it and what colours it will be. After we finished all of that and coloured it,we chose our best Greek sandal and did an proto type on it,using scrap paper,scissors and glue.We done all sorts of designs that was suitable for the god we chose. Year 5 are now waiting to do our actual sandals on the 4th December on Ancient Greek day!

Bullying Poems

In year 5 this week we have been doing anti bullying poems. Here are the poems:

Never worry to share a fear,
Help and advice is always near.
It’s not your fault you feel alone,
Everyone has the right to feel safe at home.
We must all make sure the bullies Fail when they fight,Trust and respect is all our right!

Ignore the failings of the bullies,
They have their own dark worries.
Give respect and value others,
Keep everyone safe, we’re all brothers.
Stand tall and don’t be afraid,Bullying is so un-cool at Glade!

Foolish bully it’s so silly
Haven’t you got a mind of your own?
Don’t listen to bullies,
don’t give them a care.
Bullies are cowards,
so don’t be scared.

Trouble or worries can come at anytime
Tell your teacher and you’ll be fine!

The more you wait,
The more you will take.
Don’t waste any time, use your courage,
Because it’s your time to rise and shine!

Rememberance day!

This week in year 5, we have been learning why we wear poppies in November.We didn't realise that there was such a big, important story behind the poppies.We had a lesson with Mrs.Ward, about it.
We were taught about the trenches, the bombs, the Flanders field poem, and the soldiers that died.
Trenches are like a tunnel going downwards. People lived in trenches so that they couldn't get shot or bombed! These trenches were 7 feet deep, and 3 feet wide. Dirty, muddy water came knee-high. Men had to shave in the trenches! Imagine that! Shrapnel's (sharp metal pieces) were more likely to hit the people in the trenches than bombs.

World War I was meant to be the war to end all wars, but sadly it wasn't. During WWI, Belgium was the most bombed. The Flanders fields was in Belgium. In Flanders fields where everything was destroyed, people were lying dead on the roads, but then these red poppies started to grow! It was truly AMAZING! Poppies are a sign of hope. Ever since then, every year, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month,we have 2 minutes silence to remember those who died in the wars, and those who are still fighting today.

In year 5 we have been learning about papermache and we have been doing it with Mrs.Hartwell.So we got some balloon's and blowed them up and then we papermache it so

we can make our GREEK vases.

How to make papermache.

First we get Newspapers and rip it up into little peaces, and once you've done that you get plane paper, then get any other papers. To make it stick you get glue and water and mix it together in a big bowl.And get our ripped newspaper. and then put it into the mixture of the water and glue.

take it out and stick it on your balloon. And then keep on doing that until you cant see

anymore of your colour balloon.and when it's dry and hard you can pop the little

peace that is sticking out and then take the balloon out of the papermache.
