Spring Term 2025:
We wrote a newspaper article to inform readers about the time Philippe Petite walked the Twin Towers. We also wrote letters in the voice of Philippe Petit’s mum to express how she felt about what he was going to do. In our informal voices we wrote tweets in the voice of Philippe Petit to show what he might say on social media today about the event:
Our new unit this half term is: FairyTales Fun! We have been reading the amazing book Rumaysa by Radiya Hafiza, which weaves together three well-known fairy-tales! We have written a diary extract in the voice of the main character, Rumaysa….and we will be writing a sequel to the story, so watch this space!
We had a debate about: Is there the Earth Flat?
In R.E we have been exploring why people believe in a God. We have had some very in depth conversations about this topic, and developed an understanding of people’s different views of God – both those who believe and those who do not believe. We also had to find out about the views of staff in our school and our family member’s views…
Our R.E scrapbook monitor sticks the fab work we do in our lessons in our scrap book!
In Art, we have been learning about the artist Frida Khalo, and also exploring African art print. We are working towards combining the tow stlyes of art to create our own personal portrait! Watch this space!
In DT we have been having fun making Kalimbas
In History, we have continued our work on the Romans. We have learnt why they invaded Britain, what improvements they brought to the country and what life was like as a Roman. During these lessons, we enjoyed practicing our research skills using a variety of different methods.
In Computing we are learning to evaluate search terms and learning to trust whether the information we see online is accurate.
We have been learning vocabulary and phrases linked to the weather and using these to begin to have conversations about the weather.
The theme has been ‘Being Healthy’ – we have been singing in unison and practising our tune percussion. .
