This term, Year 5 & 6 have been enjoying being taught by Mrs Cook, a design and technology teacher and artist. Their work has included junk modelling, designing and constructing a prototype bridge and then making the final product. Other parts of the project include the children using various cutting and fixing tools and ending with some food technology. The children are thoroughly enjoying the project as you can see from the photographs below.
All the children across the school sampled some Chinese food as part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. They also learnt some Chinese words through some songs.
As part of their topic this term, Class 4 (Year 5 & 6) had a fun afternoon composing their very own river’s journey after listening to examples of music that depicted the different stages of a river. By using their knowledge of the three different courses of a river and their features, the children were able to decide on their instrument, the tempo and dynamics of their composition.
