Blog for Friday 4^th July 2025

In English, we have been writing our own fantasy narratives in response to the text the 'King Who Banned the Dark'. The children crafted some fantastic worlds such as; lands standing on five rolling hills and a tropical island where pollution is the problem. We ensured that we included fronted adverbials for sentence variety, inverted commas to punctuate speech and expanded noun phrases to create vivid imagery. 

In Maths, we have been collecting our own data and have been representing it in a variety of ways from using technology to create bar charts and pictograms. Some questions we asked included what our favourite animal is, favourite sporting team and character. 

In Science, we dissected a flower identifying the different parts such as; sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. We also looked at their functions such as; the petals role is to be  brightly coloured to attract pollinators. 

Perched high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is much more than just an archaeological wonder. We painted Machu Picchu, mixing our own rich green colours we also experimented with the technique of dry brushing. During artsweek we completed some observational drawings of roses and then painted these, mixing our own colours. We also created clay masks for artsweek, we used the slabbing technique, these were so bright and bold!
