Welcome to our Year 5 blog! This will be a great place for us to share our work and link up with other classes around the world. We are kicking things off with a gallery of our superhero work we have been doing.
We have used HeroMachine to create these characters. They are based on the planets in our solar system.
We hope that you like the look of them, your challenge is to see if you can spot which planet is linked with which character.
In The Comments
- Explain what you enjoyed about creating your character.
- Can you spot a character that is linked with a planet? How do you know?

I enjoyed making this because I have always wanted to create something like this!

Wow! I particularly like Night Boy. I'm very jealous...I want to go and make my own superhero. What would I call it?
ReplyDeleteThese looked really great - you must have had lots of fun creating such vivid characters! I think I will try to do something similar with my year 6 class. Well done!

I am very impressed with your superheroes. I have used something similar to HeroMachine before but yours look much better than the ones I have done before!
ReplyDeleteI am a Year 3 teacher in East Sussex and my class have a superhero topic in the summer term, so I will certainly be using HeroMachine to create our adventure stories.
Hi there! Really nice caracters you have made. You made me very curius, so now I have to see what HeroMachine is and maybe use it in my class. I´m a teacher in Sweden on an island called Gotland in the Baltic see. Bye!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous superheroes you have made. They are very bright, colourful and I can see how they match to different planets. I'm off to check out HeroMachine and see what it's all about! Thanks for sharing your work, I have added your blog to my reader so I can keep up with all the amazing things you do this year!

Thanks for sharing your work! I think I guessed right matching planets but I'm not sure if I got the right answers! Great imaginations! Looking forward to finding out what superpowers they have.
ReplyDeleteHi I teacher Year 4 5 6 in New Zealand, and love your idea of the super heroes, so will definitely be using your site to show my class and use the ideas... thanks. Great Work
ReplyDeleteLovely work! And thanks for introducing us to HeroMachine - I'll get my Y7 group who are going to make esafety webcomics to have go!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to see how your work develops...
Wow. They're all great superheroes. My class were creating superheroes yesterday. We used Hero Factory at http://cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory/
ReplyDeleteI like Ice Man and Sneaker!
Well done to all. You are doing some great work and I love the super heroes. Keep up the good work.

Great work guys. Brought back memories for me when, as a boy your age, I would sell newspapers to buy my Super Hero comics (Batman and Superman) each week. I still have many of these in a box in the shed and they would be 40 years old! Keep up the good work. Geoff TAFE Teacher (Shepparton, Australia)
ReplyDeleteFabulous work guys. I absolutely love this idea - great work from both you and your teacher! (I may have to steal this for my class...!)

Thanks for posting these - great - I am a Sneaker fan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! My students are totally bummed that we just finished our planets unit and we can't do the same thing. Great heroes! Is Ice Man from Neptune? He seems cold and he is a blueish green color. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteGreat work kids!

Thanks for sharing your work. Your characters have such great detail! Looks like superheroes are a hot topic. My grade one students will be seeing Super,a play about superhereos performed by students at our local high school (Exeter, NH, USA). I'll check back soon!

Congratulations on creating such interesting looking superheroes. I'll be showing them to my Year 2 class in Toowoomba, Australia
ReplyDeleteHi to you all... Some really good ideas here.
ReplyDeleteI think if I could have a superpower it would be to teleport myself anywhere I wanted to by thinking about the place and visualising what it was like. That way I could travel to all the fabulous places in the world.
Keep up the good work !!
Fantastic! well done everyone - some great characters there! I'd have to say my fave super hero is Spiderman - though I did like reading about Thor when I was a young lad :-)
ReplyDeleteFreezing Flo was my favourite! These are excellent.
ReplyDeleteA very creative way to tie art and science together! Love the images :-)
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! What I enjoyed the most about creating the super-heroes is trying to make it resemble the planet we were given as much as I could!

Hi guys! I really enjoyed your planet superheros. They are very creative and fun. I enjoyed looking at them and figuring out which one belongs to each planet. It seems like fun using the Hero Machine. Thanks for posting this on your blog. I would like to use this idea in my future classroom because you really seemed to enjoy this activity. I am in college and will be a teacher in a couple years. Have a great day.
