Growth
Our core text this half term is The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis.
Welcome to the summer term! We hope you enjoyed the Easter break and that you had chance to spend some much needed time with friends and family.
This half term our topic is 'Growth'. We will be engaging in a variety of learning experiences to develop our knowledge and understanding of growth in the natural environment.
We began our topic by making our very own Bog Babies! We then planned and wrote a character description as part of our English learning.
In Science we have planted and watered our own sunflower seeds and will observe growth and change first hand as we watch them grow.
In Art we are learning about the life and work of the artist Georgia O'Keeffe who is famous for her paintings of flowers. The children chose their favourite piece of Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork and carefully sketched the lines and shapes they could see.
We have enjoyed learning about the life and achievements of environmental activist Wangari Maathai in History this week.
