And we’re off!

Well done all of you for working so hard!  We're very proud of you.

Mythical Monsters!

Welcome back to a very important half term.

In amongst the revision, we'll be doing work in other subjects that links to this half term's theme, Mythical Monsters.

In particular, we will be creating our 'stop-go' animations that involve a mythical monster somewhere in the story line as part of our Computing curriculum.

Here's a little clip from a famous animation, Morph, to get you thinking about what you might need.  Look closely at the short story in this clip, the setting / backdrop created by the animators and think about what you might like to include in your own animation.

Morph & the Abominable Snowman

If your animations are good enough, we might be able to share them with our Yr R buddies!

EUREKA!

In this half term's theme, we'll be learning about Archimedes and his legacy.  We will explore some of the fantastic inventions he created: how they were used in Ancient Greece and are still used today!

We will also find out about more recent inventors through our English work on biographies.

I hope you've enjoyed researching an inventor who has inspired you!
