Eucalyptus

We have had lots of fun in science this year.

Literacy - we were in the WWI trenches on Christmas Eve 1914

In History, in our ancient Greece topic we created quizzes about the daily life and tested each other.

Our Literacy topic in Autumn 1 was to write a persuasive pitch about our own rollercoaster design and pitch, Dragon's Den style, to Alton Towers! 

In art this half term, we have studied the work of the artist Cathy Miles. We created our own bird sculptures by bending and forming the wire into our designed bird shape. We then covered it in tissue paper. They look amazing.
