Autumn 1

In Science, we have been learning about animal groups. 

We also looked at different animal 'poo' (Weetabix) to look for plants/bones to help identify Herbivores, Omnivores and Carnivores.

We labelled parts of the body and learned about our five senses.

In DT we looked at free-standing structures and made one of our own. We made it as stable as possible by thinking about its base, its shape and using different materials and joining techniques. 

Autumn 2

In English, we have been reading 'Claude in the City'. In Geography, we looked at the countries of the U.K. and their cities.  

We 'visited' Wales. The capital city is Cardiff. There are lots of castles in Wales. The highest mountain is Snowdon. There is a town with a really long name! Here are some of our postcards:

We 'visited' Northern Ireland. The capital city is Belfast. We saw the Giant's Causeway and read about the legend. 

We 'visited' places in England. In Cornwall, we saw beautiful beaches and harbours. We saw the Eden Project which is a popular tourist attraction. In the Lake District, we saw beautiful landscapes. The highest mountain in England is called Scafell Pike. The capital city of England is London. In London, we saw popular tourist attractions like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye. 

We 'visited' Scotland. Mrs Lewis dressed up in a kilt. We ate shortbread and designed our own tartan. We listen to bagpipes. We saw Edinburgh Castle and had a look in the lake for the monster at Loch Ness (we couldn't see one!)
