Jungle Fever!
It was a wet start back at school for our Spring term, but our new topic Jungle Fever was definitely going to warm us up! We began by discovering the rain-forests of the world searching them out on a map and then had fun creating our own forest building up the different levels in the canopy using shoe boxes of all things!  We made some amazing creations!

We started our topic on Victorian Farm Life with a visit to meet some enormous Shire Horses!  These gentle giants were the powerhouse of a Victorian farm doing all the pulling work done by tractors today.  Before our visit we made bread to make our very own ploughman's lunch and then we walked up to the farm to learn how the Shire horse worked on the farms.  

Later in the term we enjoyed a visit to Cogges Manor Farm where we learnt more about life on a farm back in Victorian times.  We were able to dress up as Victorians and have a go at every day farming tasks -  including cooking, butter making, milling and milking

Some of our Hokusai wave paintings -
And our clay fish -
We really enjoyed our Summer 2015 topic.  We learnt all about the amazing seas and oceans that cover our amazing planet.  The first term involved ‘getting ship-shape’ by learning about sailing and sailors, particularly sailors from the past whilst the second term was a voyage of discovery over and under the ocean, in search of treasure!  We sang sea shanties, created amazing sea creatures and studied reefs and cliffs.  It was an amazing topic and we really enjoyed our fantastic pirate party.  Here is some of our amazing work.

Enjoying playing the fossil game -
Learning about compasses -

Spring 2015 - Africa -
Land of Diversity

What an amazing topic Africa proved to be - it inspired our learning in so many ways.  Keeping track of herds of zebras and antelopes or even a flock of ostriches challenged our multiplication skills.  Making our own djembes and then participating in a drumming workshop. getting hands on cooking African style,  creating brilliant masks or vibrant African pictures and paintings.  Writing and reading about life in Ghana and we particularly enjoyed the story of Anansi.

In the Autumn 2014 term we focused on memories and life 100 years ago (in particular World War One).  The topic inspired pupils and the writing and art they produce was amazing.  The display of poppies produced for Remembrance Day stunned parents and our end of term performance of a Christmas Truce was enjoyed by all.
