This week in English, the children have been focusing on two languages used in school – BSL and English. They have been learning about the features of both languages and the difference between them.

The children have been comparing BSL and English sentences.. yesterday they worked on translating English sentences into BSL, today they focused on translating BSL sentences into English. Great work!

Over the past few weeks, the children have been learning how to blend colour using paint. Today they painted a sunset, blending four colours. Great work 🤩

Last week in history, we introduced dinosaurs and discussed whether they were real or they are still here and how we know they once existed. The children shared their ideas and guessed what might have happened to them. There were no right or wrong answers – everyone’s thoughts are welcome.

The children explored and examined fossils, looking closely at their shades. This helped them understand how people discovered dinosaurs as dinosaurs lived long before humans came into the world.

This term, the children have been learning about how flight has developed from the past to the present. They discovered who first invented the aeroplane – the wright brothers. The children focused on the different features of plane and what they are used for and they also explored the material planes are made from.

The children were split into two groups; one group made an old style plane using wood and the other made a modern plane using plastic and metal. The children were very creative – fantastic work!
