Year 6 have been learning about all things Tudor related this week! They have investigated the differences in how the rich and poor lived in the Tudor era, have designed (and some have even made!) their own Tudor clothes and created a Tudor feast fit for a king! The staff are even thinking of bringing some of the Tudor punishments into the classroom…. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! 😂

What a wonderful time 3HJ had enjoying the recent snow day! Take a look and the magnificent snowmen and ladies constructed by some of the children in our crew! Top effort which certainly deserves a lovely mug of hot chocolate!
Photographs that changed the world!
Well done to all the children in years 5 and 6 for their tremendous hard work this term. They have been on a journey, exploring the development of the camera and how the world has changed as a result of iconic events, remarkable people and even several disasters!
Watch the video here to gain insight into their expedition and let them introduce you to the culmination of our journey: their rather impressive final product!
As you can see, our ‘Final Products’ are exceptional pieces of work. The children showed absolute resilience, working hard to produce a non chronological report about either a moth or bee. In addition, you can see the detailed pencil sketches. Here the children have used and applied different shading and tone techniques to create their own beautiful artwork of their mini beast.
Here it is, the final product for our Autumn Expedition: ‘What does the human race owe to insects?’
The children have worked tirelessly on drafting and redrafting their written work and artwork which have yielded some quite superb outcomes.
Well done 4GC!
This week, year 5 have been hard at work learning and utilising an ancient preservation method on our bananas. As we delve into the world of Ancient Egyptians, we start to discover some of the many interesting traditions they had. The preservation of pharaohs using mummification was a particularly interesting one.
In addition to learning the method, we obviously had to get hands on and give it a go ourselves.
A picture says a thousand words. Caption these!
We are fast approaching the end of our expedition of ‘The wonderful World of Bugs’! It has been an exciting learning journey where we have acquired a range of skills from learning how to add tone and light to a sketch to hatching techniques. We can’t wait to show you our beautiful final product. 
This week has seen the start of our writing for the final product. We have worked extremely hard in pairs to complete different paragraphs all about moths and bees. 3HJ then critiqued each paragraph together and redrafted. The quality of writing throughout has ben phenomenal and all children have blown me away! We are so excited to reveal our products you all! Watch this space!
The children’s mini beast artwork is taking shape. They have all done a fantastic job in trying to apply the skills they have learnt over the last few weeks to produce an accurate drawing of a mini beast for their final product for the expedition. This will, together with the art work, incorporate a non chronological report of either a snail or spider. I’m optimistic the end product will look great as the children have been working hard and getting smart with their art.
