In our English lessons, we have been reading the epic poem ‘Beowulf’ that is set in the fifth century. The children engaged with the text and produced a range of written pieces, inspired by the text including a heroic speech and description of a battle. 

In Art, we collaborated to create a large scale portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, inspired by Renaissance artist Levina Teerlinc. 

In Geography, we learnt about Ordnance Survey maps and used a website called Digi-maps to measure the distance between two locations.

In Science, we have been learning about the properties of materials. The children have been filtering, sieving, using magnets, evaporating, baking and much more! We also enjoyed using the microscopes to observe the changes that occurred to various materials such as: tea, sugar and biscuits once water was added to them. All of the children enjoyed investigating irreversible changes by baking bread rolls. They were delicious!
