Have a look below to see what we’ve been up to this week:
In Dance this week, Willow were looking at the relationship between the space they were using and their partner. How could they use the space, could they perform in unison or in canon? They were great at counting to beats of 8 to keep in time.
In DT this week we looked at Scottish cuisine. The class then sampled oat cakes with both sweet and savoury toppings. Please ask them what they thought?
Last week Willow had a special extra art lesson with Mrs Lamb where they looked at aboriginal art – they produced some beautiful pieces, some of which are on display in the classroom.
Snow in November! Meet Ricky – he was carefully constructed with the thin layer of snow and looked after at break and lunchtime! Good team work year 5.
