Today the children decorated their book sleeves which they sewed together using a running stitch last week. They added decorations and fastenings to their creations following their design criteria!
This week we began our design technology unit of work about sliding mechanisms. We began by looking at examples of sliding mechanisms, then we sorted pictures of objects into those that were sliding mechanisms and those that were not.
Here are some of the fun and exciting things we have done so far this year.
This week we have been learning about which foods make us big and strong! We enjoyed reading the story ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ and we all helped to chop and peel vegetables to make our own soup! It was delicious!
This term, our pupils will be diving into their subjects with energy and curiosity. From hands on science experiments to creative writing and problem solving in maths, there will be so much more great learning taking place across the school.
