Term 5 
Science: Biology
Animals including Humans

Term 4 
Creative
Computing, Design Technology and Music

We all had great fun on World Book Day celebrating lots of different books, and really enjoyed reading to reception class. They shared their phonics books, which gave us the oppourtunity to help. 

This term we have discovered features of Folktales and read the following stories: 
- The Little Red Hen (which we wrote a synopsis of.) 
- The Tiger Child (which we re-told through drama.)

- Rama and Sita (which we retold in our own words, and used to structure our masterpiece of turning a traditional tale into a folk tale.)

In Design Technology we learnt a new skill in sewing. We learnt how to cross-stich and used our prior skills of a running stick to appliqué. We are all very proud of our final cushions we made using felt. 

Term 3

Science: Light 

Science Investigations 

It has been a very busy science term!

• We now know that dark is the absence of light, and that there are many positives about natural and man-made light sources. 
• We have tested reflective materials, and used our results to design a book bag to keep us safe.
• Wound out how shadows are formed and how they change
• We have started to investigate the dangers of the sun, and will discover our results after half term with long term exposure. 
• We have explored how light travels, and know now that it will only ever travel in a straight line. 

Shakespeare Workshop

The children had a memorable experience learning and reciting the very famous chant from Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. 

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog...
