Elm Class - Term 1

Last week, the children were learning about Andy Warhol and his influence on Pop Art. They created their own soup can artworks in a similar style to that of Andy Warhol. In science, the children were learning about the Earth's rotation around the sun by looking at the length of shadows throughout the day.

Last week, to celebrate European Day of Languages, we invited some of the school community to share some of their native languages. Mrs Walker shared some Chilean Spanish with us, read a story and sang 'head, shoulders, knees and toes'. In science, we were using models to explain the process of night and day.

We have been working hard in science and thinking about the different historic beliefs and theories of the solar system. Throughout history, scientists and astronomers have explained different theories about the Earth or the Sun being the centre of the universe. We created some pictures to demonstrate these theories.

We have had a great start to the new school year. We have been learning about place value in maths and have built upon previous learning as well as looking at larger numbers up to 1,000,000. In PE, we have begun learning fencing with a specialist instructor. We have been discussing how to be healthy and why fitness is important. We have also learnt some footwork and hand moves used in fencing.
