On Thursday it was World Poetry Day so this week we have learnt the poem ‘Handy Work’ by Julia Donaldson. This poem was really fun to learn and we loved adding actions to help us remember it. You can watch us performing it here:

We have also kept practising ‘London’s Burning’ for our music lessons this half term. This week we added more children to perform with Boomwhackers. This meant that the children had to stay in time with their partner as well as listening to the other children to know when to play their note. The children have worked really hard on this- we hope you enjoy it!

In D.T we are still working hard at finishing our Tudor Houses. This week we focused on painting them and adding detail. It took us a long time and we have to be tough tortoises but they look fantastic! The children have really enjoyed this project and their hard work has paid off.

In art we have been drawing fire and focusing on adding detail using different materials. The children have been experimenting with chalk, oil pastels and charcoal.

In science on Monday Mrs Whittaker took the children outside to plan what they were going to grow in the vegetable beds in summer term. They discussed different vegetables they knew and thought carefully about what they would like to plant. The children came up with ideas like carrots, marrows and radishes.
