Art

We have been looking at dragon sculptures including the Vaia dragon, in Italy, which is made out of approximately 2000 pieces of wood. We have used salt dough to develop our sculpting techniques and then designed our own dragon sculpture. We used clay to create our mini dragons.

Music

This half term we have been working with Mr Sudlow from Apollo Arts. The children have been learning how to create digital music from music samples. The children have had a fantastic time listening to all types of music samples including 'Groovy' music and 'Drum and base'.

Levers and linkages

As part of our Design and Technology unit we created our very own levers and linkages. The children learnt vocabulary such as loose pivots and levers. The feedback from the children was that it "magic"!

Science

In Science we have been learning about how our skeleton protects our vital organs and in particular how skulls protect our brains. The children had to design protective packaging for a brain, AKA Tunnocks Teacake, using only straws, paper and tape. Their designs were then dropped from a height. The team with the least damage to the teacake were the winners.

Design and Technology

We have been exploring confectionary packaging. We have looked at how they are constructed and which material is best to make the packaging.  We have designed our own packaging using nets and made and evaluated our designs. The children were rewarded with some sweets to see if their design was fit for purpose.

Science

We have been learning all about rocks. Today we conducted an experiment to see how hard different rocks are. We used different materials, such as a nail and a coin, and scratched each rock to see if any residue was created. We discussed what made it a fair test- only changing one variable.
