In art this week the children painted seascapes as part of our new ‘Life Savers’ topic. We looked at lots of pictures of the sea and what it looks like when it is rough and stormy. The children had to mix colours to make lighter and darker shades to add to their paintings. They loved experimenting with the different colours and patterns!

In history we began our Titanic topic. We discovered some key facts by looking at advertisements, photos and news reports about the Titanic. The children learnt things such as what the captain of the Titanic was called, how many lifeboats were on board and what the ship was called that rescued the survivors. I was especially impressed with the map work everyone did. Lots of the children managed to find Belfast and New York and say what countries they were in. Well done!
