As part of our topic this week, we wanted to plan a street of our own. We investigated what might be needed by the people living in our street, found out what a street plan looked like, explored different street designs then got to work!
We worked in cooperative groups, tried out a few ideas and changed our minds a few times. Each group was able to talk about their plan and explain why they had included some items and not others. We were also able to talk about why we had put certain things in certain places.
Exploring the layout of our streets to find out what we can include.
I We think the Church should be in the middle of the plan.
We’ve made our decisions and are now glueing everything into place.
We placed the park in the middle of the houses so that people can go and enjoy the park.
We put all of the houses and flats together. We chose different types of houses for people to live in.
We continued to explore different houses in art. Here we are completing our houses designs with water colour. Using water colour needed lots of skill and careful painting with thin brushes. We had to make sure that we used just the right amount of water to get the paint to glide on easily.
In RE this week, we have continued to learn more about the church. We learned why we have stained glass windows in church – to remind us of the stories in the Bible. Here are the stained glass windows we made ourselves. We worked with a partner. You can see that we have also changed our altar cloth to green because it is ordinary time in the church year.
We worked hard as usual in maths and literacy…..
