This week we have been busy continuing our learning about rock stars through different periods of time. Over the past few weeks our focussing on the Beatles and life during the 1950’s – 1960’s.

We have been looking at different album covers and trying to recreate our favourite one which is for the Yellow Submarine. We particularly liked all the colours and the how eye catching it was.

Here are a few of our own album covers.

Our learning took us to discover lots about a well-known author called Dick King Smith, we found out lots about his early life and what influenced him to become such a popular author. We have begun reading one of his books about a water horse which we will be working together to write our own version of this amazing story.

We have been using drama to help us understand how sound travels from a source to our brains which was lots of fun and we now can explain the journey to a friend.

We continue each day to observe the Osprey occasionally catching glimpses of the three eggs they are incubating. We have seen how the male bird is not as good as the female at keeping the eggs warm but is very good at providing food for them both.
