Term 3

w/c Monday 13th January

This term in geography we are looking at maps.  This week we have been focusing on the UK and being able to name all the countries and their capital cities, that make up the UK.  We have also been creating treasure maps, similar to the ones used in our text, 'How to find gold.'

After previously drawing our self-portraits in art, this week saw the children exploring making a funny face portrait by cutting and sticking different pictures of face parts onto a background face template.  The children found it great fun creating such weird looking people!

This week in science we looked at the different features of deciduous and evergreen trees.  We studied a selection of twigs from different trees and sketched them deciding if they were evergreen or deciduous. The children were fascinated how leaves can be so different as we compared pine needles to oak leaves. 

In PE we have started gymnastics and are learning how to make and hold shapes with our bodies.  The children have shown great creativity, even using their bodies to spell out words.
