This week we have continued to look at the Titanic in History. We learnt about the 3 different classes of the Titanic. The children worked on looking at a range of sources to identify the different cabins, dining rooms, meal, plates and leisure activities available in each class. 

In D&T the children looked at how levers are used within moving pictures. The children were given the opportunity to make a creature that had a moving part using a lever and pivot.

It’s been lovely to welcome back KS1 this week. The children have enjoyed being back at school and have really enjoyed finding out what our new topics for this half term will be. In Science we are looking at Animals and their habitats focusing on the Arctic and Antarctic animals, History we will be studying the Titanic and DT we are exploring moving pictures.  

We were also lucky enough to have an author visit us, Joanna Gutkin who wrote the story and her 9 year old daughter Maya who illustrated the story. They shared their book The Elephant and the Goldfish with the whole school during assembly and then spent time working with Year 1 and 2 on developing characters for their own stories. It has even inspired some of them to create their own books.
