Summer 1 - Secret of the Sands
PE
We have been exploring using our bodies to balance in dance this term. We linked this to our Extreme Earth topic and had a go at creating our own volcanic explosions dances. Mrs Ellis was very impressed with our expressive dances!
Now Press Play
We kicked off our new topic with a virtual school trip taking us back in time to 79AD. The people of Pompeii didn't realise the power of Mount Vesuvius and how its impending eruption could destroy their beloved city. But don't worry - Woodies to the rescue!
Forest School & Science
This term in Forest School we have been looking at rocks and soils to link with our Science lessons. We have looked at the layers of the earth and soil profiles and we even made our own. After discovering the stages of fossilisation, we had a go at creating our own fossils.
ART & DT
We have really enjoyed our Topic 'Extreme Earth. We have found out some really interesting facts about Volcanoes and Earthquakes and have been shocked by the damage they can cause! In Art & DT we have made our own 3D models of Volcanoes and we used our knowledge to label the different parts.
