Our topic this half term has been 'Once Upon A Time'. We learned alot about an author called Lewis Carroll who wrote a story called 'Alice's adventures in wonderland'. We found out that Lewis actually wrote the stories for an Alice who has been buried in Lyndhurst Hampshire. We decided in honour of his stories we would have our own wonderful Mad Hatters Tea Party.
Year 5 had the best time at Winchester Science Centre this week. Have a look at some of the photos from our day.
We had great fun last week learning how to make pop up books in the style of 'Curiosity'.
Year 4 have been busy working away at home on their Rivers Home Learning project. We were amazed at the fantastic work they produced and had a great time sharing with Y1.
For the first time, Year 4 have designed and built catapult cars using lollipop sticks, masking tape and card. They had to design the structure of the chassis and select a body-shape that was strong and streamlined! Here are the results:
Year 3 have just finished their Henry Moore inspired family sculptures. Not an easy task! Not only did they have to use all their learned clay techniques-like joining-but had to use what they learned at the beginning of this learning journey about correct body proportions. They worked together in pairs to produce a grouped family sculpture. Well done Year 3.
Year 1's music of the week was ' Carnival of the animals'. We listened to the music discussed the tempo and pitch for each section of the piece of music. We then discussed what the animals might be doing? How they might be doing it? what their bodies look like? This links to our science work as well all about animals.
As part of Rivers topic Year 4 spent yesterday afternoon constructing a river on the playground. We thought about all the different parts of the river and watched as the water made its way down the river course.
