In Art this week we have been finishing our work based on the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. We took the role of the illustrator and created pictures for each verse of the poem, letting our imagination run wild with images that sprung to mind. We used a variety of art mediums to create our final pieces and presented them in our own mini concertina books.
The Iguanas have been revisiting their science investigation. We examined the question 'Do our bones grow as we get taller?' and reached an interesting conclusion when we examined our data.
Here's what Mantas, Eva and Xavier thought...
Here is a piece of writing by Molly in the Giraffes class. She has described a part of the story, Varjak Paw, where Varjak leaves the Contessa's house.
Millie in the Sharks class has written a letter to Ug telling him about the amazing life of living in 2024. We discussed what we have now compared to living in the Stone Age and thought about how we could help improve Ug's life.
Our English is based on the book Varjak and this week we have been making decisions on what we think Varjak should do next. He must decide whether to leave the family house or stay put. The children really got into the role, writing words of advice for what they thought the right decision was.
The Iguanas have been writing persuasive adverts to entice customers into buying a brand new Stone Age invention...a wall! Haven't those children done an incredible job!
In the Giraffes class this week, the children worked together to create a role on the wall to collect some ideas, for a character description about Varjak Paw written by Lily Mehmed. They then wrote sentences describing his character and appearance.
In Design and Technology we have been creating our Anglo-Saxon illuminated letters. We cut the letter of our choice out and used two different stitches to attach them. We then started to add some embellishments to finish them off.
In the Nightingales this week we have been writing persuasively. Here's Harry's advert for a brand new golf club.
The Seals have been reading poems from ‘The Lost Words’ book. This week, we’ve read the poem ‘Heather’, we analysed it and drew some beautiful pictures of the flower using pastels. Here is Elloise and Anna’s fantastic drawings!
In Science, Ruby and Owen have showcased their knowledge of plants. They've included information about seed dispersal, parts of a flower and pollination.
This week in ART we have been putting the finishing touches to our dragon eyes. We spent time choosing which colour we thought would look best and then spent an afternoon painting them. We are all happy and proud of what we have created.
