Our Enrichment & Learning Experiences 

English

In English, this term, we looked at 'Street Child' by Berlie Doherty. This allowed us to understand more of how Victorians lived, what workhouses were like, and to learn about Dr Barnardo. Through this we were able to create both fiction and non-fiction writing.

Science

In Science, we looked at the topic of 'Amazing Changes'. This allowed us to devise and carry out a range of investigations, such as elephant's toothpaste, rusting and burning. This let us understand reversible and irreversible changes, and learn about products made during reactions. 

Art

In Art, we were looking at landscapes, and used Gordon Cheung as inspiration for our own mixed media landscapes. We used sand, paint, pen, pencil, bubble wrap, crinkle paper and lots more to make our landscapes.

PE

In PE this term, we looked at tennis at school, as well as being able to go to MEAPA to develop our gymnastics skills. We had lots of fun looking at beam, floor, vault and jumping on the trampoline.

PSHE

In PSHE, we looked at the topic of Healthy Me, learning about the impacts of alcohol and smoking. We learnt emergency aid and the recovery position, and then looked at the impact of media and social media on our body image. 

Music

In Music, we are still working on our ukulele skills, learning our songs in preparation for the musical performance we will be giving.
