We made a video trailer using PowerPoint of well-known stories such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Tiger Who Came for Tea. We then watched each other's videos and gave feedback to evaluate the short films.

During E-Safety day, we learned about keeping safe online, including scamming. We looked at safe links and making sure we never click on a link we are unsure about and always tell a trusted adult first. We also talked about the information that is safe or unsafe to share online, such as personal details about ourselves. We wrote ‘top tips of how to keep safe online’ on a coin and then decorated our own E-safety money box to keep them all safe inside.

07.02.25 - Roman Shields

Today we made Roman shields (scutum) as part of our History topic on Romans. The children learned the names of all of the different equipment a soldier in the Roman army would have had, labelled this on a Roman soldier and made a shield. Next lesson we will use our shields to practice Roman army formations, to show exactly how shields were used to defend and attack.

15.11.24 - Children in Need & A Million Dreams Artwork

Today, we had a very special artist visit our classroom to show us a specific art skill using oil pastels and mixed medium art...Mrs Cornish! As Mrs Cornish does not usually teach us on a Friday, we had two teachers today! What a treat! Mrs Cornish showed us how to layer different colours and blend these to form a background. We then drew our dreams and aspirations into different sized circles and glued these onto the background, adding a silhouette of a person and some thought bubbles to show us dreaming.
