This half-term, we are learning about the Romans, so to launch our project, we found out a little about who the Romans were, especially their powerful army. We then designed and made our own Roman shield, noticing the symmetry and colours used. Of course, we had to put them to the test to see if they could withstand against attack! Take a look at our photos below
We had a great half-term learning all about how our digestive system works and what the different types of teeth are in science. We wrote explanations in English to explain all about our teeth. We have really enjoyed our class novel – The Witches – and we wrote a fantasy story about an encounter with a witch.
In DT, we made a yummy and healthy stir-fry and even made our own take-away boxes to take them home in. Have a look at the photos!
We had a fantastic, if not quite disgusting start to our topic by recreating a model of the digestive system! We use some crackers, banana, orange juice and water to show what happens to our food as it travels to the stomach, before showing how it moves through the small and large intestine, using tights! Eventually, it squeezes out at the other end!!
We also tasted a range of vegetables, protein and sauces in preparation for us making a healthy stir-fry later in the term. We were all very brave and tried a little of everything to a mixture of enjoyment!
