Foxes class have been sewing illuminated letters this week. They had to join materials using a running stitch and then embellish their work with sequins, beads and buttons. They showed a lot of resilience and perseverance throughout the day.
The Giraffes have read to the end of their class text 'Oliver and the Seawigs.' In the book, Oliver Crisp and Iris (a mermaid), are bullied by Stacey de Lacey, who is determined that Thurlstone will win the Night of the Seawigs. At the end of the story, Stacey floats away on a raft, having been defeated, with the sea monkeys clinging onto him. We have written apology notes from Stacey, asking for forgiveness from Oliver and Iris. We learnt to use a 'the more, the more' sentence and include this in our writing.
This week, the Seals took part in a workshop with Conductive Music. They combined music and science by making digital instruments and learning how conductors and insulators work to make a circuit.
In Year 3 our DT lessons have been focussed on using our textiles skills to make a pin cushion themed around the Tudor Rose. This week in our 2CanLearn session we worked with our adults to make our cushions. Here is Emily from the Nightingales one.
