Autumn 1 – MTP - Year 5
Title: Our Island – Click, Flash, Wight Art is Born!
Timescale: 7 weeks
Rationale:
To get this academic year off to a good start, we decided to celebrate the place we live in! Eclipse class will begin this year with a detailed study of the Isle of Wight,
with a particular focus on Freshwater Bay and Ventnor.
Children will have the opportunity to consider the geography of the Island, look at the landscape and carry out field work to fully understand their surroundings.
Children will have the opportunity to make comparisons between Freshwater Bay and Ventnor thinking about habitats, life cycles, soils, land use and purpose. Children
will generate questions about the local environment, they will set about collecting evidence to draw conclusions, and then they will use ICT to present their findings.
Children will carry out map work to locate key places in relation to other towns and villages, counties and the rest of the world! Alongside this, they will begin to
appreciate the effect humans have on the local surroundings, they will be looking at the damage humans do and the efforts being made to protect the environment.
Children will also have the opportunity to appreciate the arts movement of the 1800’s in Freshwater Bay, we will consider the pioneering work of Julia Margaret
Cameron and the invention of photography. Children will visit Dimbola Lodge, where Julia Margaret Cameron lived and experiment with the form through the
creation of pinhole cameras. Then, children will look at some modern representations of the Isle of Wight by local artists. They will have the opportunity to identify the
different media used, techniques and styles. Children will experiment with various materials in order to choose their own style. We will then take the children to a
beautiful local location at Freshwater Bay, where the children will experience representing a local scene through art. It is hoped that the children will be able to
carefully consider their approach to this task and produce art work of a very high standard. We will then peer and self-assess our artwork, celebrating achievements
as well as looking for ways to improve. Please look out for a follow up letter inviting you to come and view the children’s paintings at our own art exhibition. You
never know, there may be a local artist present to judge!
Within our Guided Reading, we will continue looking at life by the coast in the 1800’s by reading The Wreck of Zanzibar which is set in the Scilly Isles. Within their
literacy work, children will be focusing on recounts. Children will be encouraged to think about their experiences on the Isle of Wight, recall them and write about
them with flair, expression and humour, including an element of magic and make believe, taking inspiration from our Guided Reading. Children will look at examples
of recounts and compare them in order to locate their features. As a class we will write an example of a recount including the features identified. Finally, children will
have the chance to write their own recount of an experience that they have had on the Isle of Wight. It will be really interesting to read the children’s writing!
Hook: Children will be shown a range of photographs, through display, taken by Julia Margaret Cameron and be encouraged to ask questions about them and their
creator. Children will also be shown pictures of the Isle of Wight created by local artists in a variety of styles. Children will have the opportunity to visit Freshwater
Bay and Ventnor to carry out their field work study of the habitats in the local area.
Big Questions: How many miles of coast line does Britain have? How long is our I.O.W coast line? What is the difference between living by the coast and being inland or
in a city? What does living by the coast mean to you? Do you enjoy any coastal activities?
Autumn 1 – MTP - Year 5
Take-Away Task: Please take the opportunity with your child to look at the local area. Encourage your child to appreciate the beauty in the area – perhaps on a
family walk. Take the time to look at the geography of your local area – consider landscape, soils and land use. Talk to your child about the things that they would
like to find out and get them to bring in any questions they may have.
Also, look around local shops to consider the various art works that has been produced celebrating our stunning island. Question your child about the locality of the
painting, what the artist used to create the picture and ask them whether they like the style. You may even want to have a go at creating your own piece of art to
represent an area of the Island that is special to you with your child.
Task 1: Think about some of the most memorable experiences you have had on the Isle of Wight. They might be funny, exciting, adventurous or happy times with your
family and friends. We would like you to plan a piece of writing telling me about the events. Remember to not write the whole piece of writing, just write down key
words, phrases and punctuation that will help you with your writing.
Task 2: We would like you to write about your memorable experiences on the Isle of Wight.
Task 3: We would like you to create a collage/picture of what the Isle of Wight means to you. You can present your information in any way you choose and include
what you like, stickers, brochures, pictures, writing – you name it, you can use it! However, you must be prepared to talk about what your collage or picture means
to you and explain what the Isle of Wight means to you in a 2 minute presentation at the end of this half term.
Educational Visits/Global/Cultural Link:
Children will have the opportunity to visit Freshwater Bay and Ventnor Botanical Gardens, they will also visit Dimbola Lodge to find out about Julia Margaret
Cameron.
Towards the end of the topic, a local artist will be invited in to share their work and judge the children’s landscape art work of the local area.
Children’s cultural experiences will be developed through their appreciation of different styles of art and through their understanding of the pioneering work of Julia
Margaret Cameron within their locality. Children will also develop their appreciation of literature by reading ‘The Wreck of Zanzibar’.
