Autumn Term 2020

 

Books

During the Autumn term the children have learnt lots of new skills.

They have had the opportunity to write for different purposes and produced some excellent results.

In particular the children really enjoyed making their own non fiction books.

 
 

 

Zoolab

Our science topic looked at the similarities and differences between a wide range of animals.

The children learned about classification and Zoo Lab visited bringing in lots of animals for the children to see, including a snake and a cockroach!

 

 

 

Materials

We also learnt about the properties of different materials and had the opportunity to investigate these by making a coat for a teddy which needed to be waterproof.

 

 

Pirates

We had great fun during our topic on ‘Pirates’ We learnt how to make a pirate hat, how to talk like a pirate and wrote non fiction books.

We also had lots of fun on ‘Dress up as a pirate day’ where we went on a treasure hunt, made up our own stories and had a pirate party!

 

Art Week

We really enjoyed learning about the ‘Pop Art’ style during Art week with a focus on Andy Warhol.

We created our own pictures in this style using a variety of bright colours..

 

 

Christmas

We learnt all about making a Christingle and its meaning for Christians. We also had fun at our Christmas party
