This term in History Year 6 have been studying the Ancient Greeks. As part of their learning, they have studied Greek temples, and can now name the different types of pillars have identified some of the pillars still being used in buildings today. In their design and technology lessons, they used their knowledge of the temples and had a go at making some of their own. We obviously didn't have marble for them to use (like in Ancient times) so they used paper, which was tricky as they had to stay upright! I hope you agree they have done a fabulous job!
Year 4 have been learning about different types of shelters as part of design and technology.

Year 2 have begun their design, make and evaluate process focused on puppets, investigating puppets - how they work & move.
Year 2 have began to make their finger puppets this week . They have drawn a diagram of their puppet and created a template that they have used to draw around a piece of felt .

The reception children have been learning all about fruit and vegetables, where our food comes from and eating healthily. Today the children in school made tomato and red pepper soup and buttered some wholemeal bread to eat with it. It was very tasty and really warmed us up on a cold day!
Year 1 have been having a lovely time learning all about different types of transport in their Wacky Races topic.
