Spring Term 1 & 2
This term our class topic is Vikings. As we travel back in time we will delve into what materials the Vikings used to make their Longship float on the ruff seas. The children will be exploring different symbolic animals and patterns that Vikings used to decorate their homes and shields. To capture the life of a Viking, the children have created a newspaper article to tell readers about the importance of their battle in Linisfarne. To help us with our learning about Vikings we travelled the Museum of Liverpool to look at interesting artifacts from the Viking period. We are still leaning lot about Vikings and we can not wait to show are up dates with you!
Autumn Term 2
We are continuing with our topic Cynefin. This part of the term we have been looking at Castles and how invaders would attack. We have also been looking at forces to help us understand that they are continuously around us such as Gravity and air resistance. The children had a very special guest in World of Work week, Mr Rooney come to talk to us about his job as a Software Engineer.
The children have been researching Castle from the past to the present and exploring what has changed during the different time periods. We have also been looking at ‘What makes an excellent Welsh cake recipe’ and what key elements are needed in a recipe.
Watch this space as more excited photo’s are to come from our class Welsh Cake competition.
Autumn Term 1
Our class topic is Autumn term is Cynefin. We have already explored lots of Welsh Myths and Legends such as ‘The Legend of Gelert’ and ‘The Lady of the Lake’. The children have been working very hard at recreating these stories in different ways such as story board and using Scratch on the Chrome Books. Through learning about Welsh Myths and Legends we have discovered Welsh Folklore music and how important it is to learn about past music.
