We have had a busy two weeks with a well deserved rest in between.

Last week we started creating books for the infants so we can read them on World Book Day. We are creating characters and stories that showcase our writing skills.

We have continued reading ‘Remembrance’ in class and we are learning more and more about World War One. The book is set in Scotland so we are learning about what life would have been like for young children in Scotland. We discussed the changing roles and perceptions of women during the time period and how they were asked to step in to jobs they were previously thought of as too weak for.

We created our own War soldiers, focusing on the tension and sadness in their eyes. We used collage and carbon pencils to create our images.

With Mrs Hutchinson we continued to develop our clay skills by creating pots using different techniques.

In Science we looked at the skeleton and how it supports our bodies to stand up. We worked in groups to create our own structure out of recycled paper to create a support for a ball. Some ideas were more successful than others!
