We have had a very busy half term! In Geography we’ve looked at sustainability and how we can help our world by living as sustainably as possible. This could include having solar panels on our houses, turning off taps and lights when not using them, and recycling paper, cardboard and plastic. In addition, we had the best time at London Zoo and loved seeing all of the animals but particularly the rainforest ones, including the Aye Aye, Okapi and the sloth!
We have also started to create our own wonderful rainforest inspired cushions in DT! We’ve created designs and thought about the design specification and who we intend our finished cushions to be used by. We very much look forward to starting to sew our cushions together!
In computing we have been learning about blogging and have chosen and researched a topic that we wanted to blog about, as well as created a blog about it, and in RE we have found out about who Jesus was and why he is so important for Christians.
We have enjoyed our Science topic of ‘Evolution’ and have looked at how animals have evolved over time to suit their habitat. We also looked at how fossils are formed and had great fun making our own ‘fossils’! During Science week, we looked at how moths have evolved over time and challenged ourselves to decorate a moth that would be successfully camouflaged against different backgrounds. We have learnt that those moths which predators find are more difficult to spot, will be more successful.
Next term we are looking forward to starting our History topic about the Mayans, looking in detail at who they were, where they lived and how they communicated. In RE we will be looking at humans’ relationship with the environment and will discuss individual ideas about God, and of course, we can’t wait to get started on sewing our cushions for DT!
Have a wonderful Easter break and we’ll see you next term!
