Term One

We have completed lots of amazing learning this term. After getting to know our new classes and teaching staff, we started our first project of the year Traders and Raiders. This project is all about Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain. We started our learning with the Anglo-Saxons, learning about how they travelled to Britain, creating a model ship and working with Nightingale class to create a ship outside. As well as this, we learnt about the reasons why the Anglo-Saxons invade Britain. We completed research in groups to find out about Anglo-Saxon life and presented our findings. In addition to this, we learnt about Anglo-Saxon Villages and created model Anglo-Saxon houses. Later in the terms we used clay to design and make our own Anglo-Saxon styled jewellery. 

In our Power of Reading lessons, we learnt about two different books. Our first book was called 'A Mouse Called Julian'. We learnt about the importance of helping others and that sometimes unexpected people can make good friends. We then read the book 'Gorilla' and read about the adventure of a little girl and her Gorilla toy, that came alive on the night of her birthday.
