Shang Dynasty Workshop 

Class 3 and 4 had the exciting opportunity to take part in a Shang Dynasty workshop. They completed various drama based activities (such as, freeze frames and acting out scenes) to deepen their understanding of what life was like during the Shang Dynasty era.

Design Technology - Pizzas

We designed and made pizzas for our design technology this term. We considered who are target market were, how we would make it a balanced meal, costed up our ingredients and how to make it taste and look appealing. We then made our pizzas, even making the dough from scratch and learning about the role of yeast in making bread. 

What's in our blood?

We used various items to model the components of blood. As we made our models we discussed each components job. Ask your child about the lesson to see what they can remember. 

Caesar's Landing Freeze Frames

The children used a translation of Julius Caesars account of his invasion of Britain to create freeze frames. They created a different one for each paragraph. 

Vindolanda

The children enjoyed their trip to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum. They discovered how Roman soldiers would have lived at that time and even witness a real archaeological dig happening. 

The Circulatory System

We modelled the circulatory system using hoops, labels, coloured card and ourselves. The childen were the red blood cells, the hoops were the lungs, heart and the rest of the body and the coloured card represented the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

The Viewer

The children wrote and peformed list poems using an image from Shaun Tanns 'The Viewer' for their stimulus
