Earlier this half term Mr Jim Barber came into school to work with us to make Fairground rides for the Borrowers.

We worked very hard measuring, sawing, gluing and painting. We evaluated our work and discussed how we could improve it.

 

 

The children researched Roy Liechtenstein and Andy Warhol as part of our Pop Art project. Each child then created their own modern Pop Art with an image of their choice in the style of Andy Warhol.

 

We used the internet to find out all about endangered animals in Europe. Using the website www.kidsplanet.org we found out which animals are endangered and why, then we completed a group quiz to see how much we had learned! We also talked about how we could help these animals and what we could do to make sure that no other animals become endangered.

In R.E. we have been learning about the different versions of the Christmas story looking at the Gospels of Matthew and Luke in the Bible. We also discussed why each version included the details that they did.

 

     

In German we have a language assistant Mrs Foerster who is helping us learn the language.

We have been learning to count to 50, how to ask each other about our favourite things, and the names of our favourite toys.
