Extra extra read all about it!

The children in the otters and owls classes have written newspaper reports to finish our work on World War 1. They focused on the Battle of the Somme and have written some superb reports focussing on quotations, answering the 5 w's and using paragraphs.

Check out some of reports (using comic life) below:








Dazzle Ships

After finding out about Dazzle ships, and how they were used to confuse the German submarines during World War 1, we decided we would design a paint one. 

Each Dazzle ship wasn't allowed to use no more than four colours, and needed to be designed to disorientate any onlooker.

Cookies!

Today we started some DT work about cookies. In preparation for making our own we considered the  following things: When and why do people eat cookies?  What sort do they like or dislike?

As you can see we had a lovely afternoon looking at the appearance of cookies, tasting them and discussing their flavours.










At the end of the afternoon everyone designed their favourite cookie.
 Watch this space to see what delicious flavours they came up with.
