It has been a very creative start to our Ancient Greek topic this term! Everyone has been a shining star as we think about our response to the question of where we would rather live – ancient or modern Greece.

In Maths, we have focused on decimals, money and now time as different ways of expressing numbers and measurement.

In Literacy, we have been doing lots of writing. Firstly, we wrote a holiday brochure, persuading others to book a holiday and excursions on the island of Santorini. Secondly, a persuasive letter to Zeus as Pandora, explaining why we did/did not open the box. Finally, we have ended the term writing a character description, describing our own mythical creature. We are getting ready for writing our own Greek myth.

In Science, we have been learning all about how scientists classify living things into classification keys to help study different characteristics. Check out some of our amazing scientists work.

This term we celebrated VE Day by getting creative and learning how to play marbles which we all loved!

Work has begun on the designs for our sculptures inspired by the renowned artist, Henry Moore. Our artistic talents and creative visions have truly begun to shone through in this project and we look forward to sharing photos of our final creations next term.

In Music, we have composed our own piece of music for the English National Opera. The piece is called Obsidian (a name chosen by the children) and completes the libretto sent to us unfinished by the composer Omar Shahryar.
