Our Topic
Our topic this half term is: Marvellous Mountains. We will learn about the features of a mountain, look at key mountains/mountain ranges around the world and we will learn about the first ascent of Mount Everest.
Forest Activities
We have been making good use of our outdoor areas such as the field and wood to develop our problem solving skills. Last week our task was to build a waterproof shelter using the natural materials around us and a sheet of tarpaulin. The children have really enjoyed the different challenges which they have been set each week.
Violin
Every Wednesday afternoon Class 5 have a music lesson with Mrs Dawson from the local music service.
Whilst the focus is on learning to play the violin, children also develop other musical skills, such as: keeping the beat and following and creating patterns.
As lessons progress, they will also begin to compose their own tunes.
We look forward to seeing you just before the Christmas holiday for our first recital.
Roald Dahl Day 2016
During our celebrations for what would have been Roald Dahl's 100th birthday, Class Five designed their own dream bottles inspired by the BFG.
