The Great Fire of London workshop
We had an amazing morning going back in time to 1666 to investigate what happened in Pudding Lane. We used role play and collaborative games to understand the sequence of events, bringing everything to life. It was also our first time on the minibus which was really exciting!
Shape
In Maths we have been investigating shapes. We created shapes and patterns using lollipop sticks and used geoboards to create shapes of different sizes.
Digital Painting
In our Computing sessions we have been having fun using the IPads and a program called Paintz. We have been experimenting with line and colour. We were inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian to create designs using primary colours!
Water workshop
Today we had a visit form Mrs Cole from South Staffs Water. She told us the story of Little Drop and we found out all about the water cycle. Then we talked about ways water can be wasted and the things we can do at home to save water.
