Grand Designs
Happy New Year and Welcome Back!
We hope that you have all had a happy and restful break.
This half term our topic is 'Grand Designs', where we will be looking closely at buildings, construction and architecture around our local area and beyond.
We have started our new topic by looking at our school logo and discussing why we have a picture of the Whitefield Bridge. Over the coming weeks we will be finding out more about the Whitefield Bridge's construction and history and how we use it today to take us from home to school.
Our core text for Spring 1 is 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'.
We started by looking at the painting and discussing what we could see. We noticed the lady on the bridge and talked about who she might be and where she might be going. We talked about how Van Gogh had added texture to his artwork using colour and paint. We used different media to practise creating texture for the water, bridge and grass.
In science we have been learning about what material an object is made from. We went on a material hunt around the school to look for different materials.
In PE this half term we are learning about gymnastics. We started by learning about different 3 point balances and what makes a good balance. We tried to keep our legs straight and our toes pointed.
