In literacy we have been following the route of Marco Polo, which links to our 'Explorers' topic, and have been reading a range of stories from the different countries he visited. We then stopped off in India to read an old folk tale called ' The old Woman and the Red Pumpkin'. We learnt to retell the story using Makaton, understand different characters view points and create our own folk tale from a different country! 

 

In our Topic lessons we are learning about Tudor Explorers! To begin our topic we had to solve some clues to work out who the mystery explorer was on our Topic board - It turned out tot be Christopher Columbus! 

Today we visited Red Lodge in Bristol! We've had such a fantastic day learning all about Dame Joan (A real life Tudor!) and her life at Red Lodge. She has shown us Tudor toys, foods, tableware and Tudor patterns to understand more about Tudor life! Have a look at some of our photos from the day!

 

 

Today we have been busy making Tudor houses! We started by sticking boxes together to create the structure. Then we used paper mache to make it strong and turn our houses white. Afterwards, we stuck on black strips, windows and the tiles on the roof to create the Tudor House! 

We've Finished! Have a look at some of our houses!

What a FANTASTIC assembly! Well Done 4J! You were all amazing!!!!

We have now finished our unit on Place Value! Yippe!! So we've decided to celebrate with our new skills by creating board games that feature questions about Place Value! Come and have a go! (When we've finished!)
We have been reading a Story called 'Oliver and the SeaWigs' and in today's lesson we've just reached the part where Oliver and Iris have decided to help Cliff (The Rambling Isle) design his very own seawig, to put forward into a competition! We've been thinking about what interesting items we might find in the ocean and created our very own seawigs!!! Have a look at what we've made!
