We have been programming robots in Technola! We used the iPads to control the movement on our robots, and could even create an image on the robot itself!

To continue our learning about the Anglo-Saxons, we researched and designed some Anglo-Saxon brooches. Have a look at our fantastic work!

We have kicked off the year with a great text - Beowulf. This fits in with our Anglo-Saxon topic in History/Geography too.

In Science we have been learning about classification, and more specifically, microorganisms. We have decided to investigate how different conditions affect the growth of mould. 

In groups, we have chosen different areas around school to place an uncontaminated slice of bread. Over the next few weeks, we will monitor the growth of mould and compare this with the other slices which have been kept in different conditions. 

We were thrilled to invite one of our lovely parents into school to speak to us about nutrition education. We got to use our senses to try a range of different foods and understand how small changes can make a big difference! This will help us with our DT topic when we start to plan a nutritious, balanced meal.

We have brought our art, geography and science topics all together to create our camouflage art.

• First we chose a biome, which we'd learnt about in geography.

• Then we researched this biome, and created a colour palette which would accurately represent it and the life that grows there.

• Next we created our camouflage background using this colour palette.

• Finally, using inspiration from our science topic about adaptation and evolution, we disguised our hands into the background we created, to allow it to become camouflaged.
