London

This is a link to a fact filled educational website that we have used in class as part of our research into the Geographical topic of London. The children have used it to key facts about the Landmarks of London and about the oldest underground train system in the world - The Tube.

Holiday Project

Our topic next half term will be Toys. 

For the holidays , we wondered if the children could create a toy of their own and then share with the rest of the class next week. 

This might be a  version of Snakes and Ladders using an old cereal box, a puppet made from an old sock or a game of Snap - the options are endless. 

Here are some from ideas from Google to help -

Then we learned some Spanish - we found out how to say hello, goodbye and thank you.

Finally we made South American arpilleras.

Using a cardboard outline we wrapped wool around the shape to create an interesting texture and mix of colours. We had to decide how to attach the wool to the arpillera - we tried using glue and tape, and some of use tried tying a knot in the wool.

        

Have a look at some of our great finished products!
