Our project for term 4 is Childhood
This project teaches children about everyday life and families today, including comparisons with childhood in the 1950s, using artefacts and a range of different sources. Our companion project, Funny Faces and Fabulous Features, teaches children about the concept of the portrait and how the collage technique can be used to make a portrait.

PE- Term 4
Children need to wear their PE kit into school on these days. If you can put your child’s name in each item of clothing it will help minimise lost property.
What have we been up to this week?
This week we have started our new 'Write Stuff' unit on Grandad's Island by Benji Davies. We have been exploring items that are special and important to us. We have also designed and made our own captain hat. Please have a look at our super creations.
