Our Key line of enquiry for the Autumn Term is- 'What does a hero look like?'
Our wonderful class!
Winchester Science Museum
We had an incredible trip to Winchester Science Museum, where we were able to take part in lots of practical activities to further our understanding of what we have learned in class! We were able to do a mini-beast workshop to build our classification skills; then, an amazing visit to the planetarium to investigate our solar system. The rest of the time was spent exploring the many different exhibits in the museum!
Our key line of enquiry for the Summer Term is- 'What is a world without internet?'
Releasing butterflies
We've enjoyed observing the life cycle of our class caterpillars. Today it was time to release them as butterflies. Not all of them seemed to want to leave us...!
Art: Experimental Mark Making
The children enjoyed experimenting in their sketch books, responding to Mayan-influenced artwork and the paintings of Diego Rivera.
Science- What are the key components of blood?
We had lots of fun making our own 'fake blood!' We used cheerios to represent the red blood cells, marshmallows for our white blood cells, dyed water for plasma and strips of paper for our platelets!
VE Day 2025- Celebrating 80 years since the end of WW2 in Europe!
World Book Day 2025
Dodgeball Champions- congratulations on winning your matches!
Tudor Workshop
We had a fantastic time finding all about the Tudor period. We got to handle Tudor weapons and artefacts and find out how to use a bow and arrow. In the afternoon, we learned how to play Tudor board games and dance Tudor dances. The Washerwoman dance was very funny!
Remembrance Day Artwork
Our Viking visitor!
We were lucky enough to have a Viking visit us! We spent the day learning about (and practising!) Viking battle tactics! We were able to have a closer look at some artefacts. We also learned how to play some real Anglo-Saxon and Viking board games. Thank you to Historic workshops for a great day!
Fire Safety Workshop
We were taught the fundamentals of fire safety from an expert. We then had to work together to investigate the sources of different fires, using the evidence to come to our conclusions!
Exploring mixtures and separation- some of our science experiments!
Were Vikings raiders, settlers or Traders?
We have been investigating whether Vikings were raiders in History! We acted as archaeologists to search for 'artefacts' and to practise making inferences from them! We then studied primary sources from the Viking era.
