Autumn Term 2021

In Science we are learning how to make electrical circuits. Here we used wires and a battery to make our very first complete circuits which successfully lit up a light bulb!

Class Camp-out – July 2021

We had a fantastic time at our class camp-out on the school field. We ate pizzas and hotdogs, played on a giant inflatable obstacle course, watched a film, planned midnight feasts and even managed to get a little bit of sleep in our tents!

Summer Term 2021

We have really enjoyed our DT project of shell structures this term, designing, making and evaluating our own Ancient Egyptian treasure boxes. First, we had a look at some completed boxes and evaluated their design. Then we had a practise of drawing our own nets and constructing our own 3D shapes. We learnt how important it is to be accurate with measuring and cutting. We discovered it was hard to draw and put together a pentagonal prism!

After that, we had a think of some designs for our own boxes and chose our favourite one. Next, it was time to draw out a net, carefully cut it out and add our unique Egyptian designs.

Now it was time to make our own Ancient Egyptian boxes. We made sure we accurately measured and folded our nets so that we successfully constructed our boxes. It was very tricky, but we showed great resilience and aspiration!

Finally, it was time to evaluate our treasure boxes.

thought about what we would need to make them and wrote a flowchart with the steps of the design process.

Next, it was time to make our moveable shadow puppets!

Finally, we evaluated our own and each other’s shadow puppets.
