Our Art topic this half term is: Effects of Different Perspectives and Techniques. We have already studied and created some optical illusions and researched a Venezuelan artist called Luz Perez Ojeda.
In R.E lessons this half term we have been looking at the story of David and Goliath. We have discussed times in our own lives when we have needed to be brave like David.
The History topic this half term is the Roman Republic. We are having lots of fun learning about different historical figures and the Roman Army!
In French lessons this half term we our continuing to learn numbers from 1 – 69. We are also learning the French names for the body parts. We really enjoy the fun French games!
PSHE – We have started a new PSHE scheme of work this year called My Happy Minds plus. This half term we are focusing on the ‘Meet Your Brain’ section. We are learning about the different parts of the brain and how each part works.
We are reading a wonderful book in English lessons called ‘Christophe’s Story’ by Nicki Cornwell. We have taken part in drama lessons using the characters from the story and are using it as inspiration for many pieces of extended writing.
Our Science topic this term is ‘States of Matter’. We are enjoying learning about the different states and have even conducted our own investigations into melting ice in different conditions.
We are really enjoying our music lessons with Mr Lucas were we have been exploring rhythm and pattern.
