World War 2

We started our new term with a fantastic new topic! 

We had a visit from a Royal Air Force Officer who gave us the news that our Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, would be going public with the declaration of war on Germany.  Our first task was to create an information poster to help the general public understand why we are at war.

How do you think we did?

                                   

Check out our new working wall and our display.

 

Last Day of Term Fun!

Our fun activities today were all Greek themed.  

Our fist activity saw us become fashion designers.  We had to research Ancient Greek clothing, then design and make an outfit out of bin liners. 

             
                              

 We even had a fashion show!

We then had a food tasting session.  The olives didn't go down well though!

Feta, dips, pitta and olives.

                         

We then had yogurt with honey for dessert.  

YUMMY!

The Trojan War

As part of our Ancient Greek topic, we have been learning about the Trajan war.  We learnt that Homer, a famous Greek writer, told of the famous war in the Iliad.

In groups, we acted out the key parts of the story, before splitting up into the Greeks and the Spartans for the final showdown!

We then made our own Trojan horses out of clay.

Mandarin

This week, we had our first taste of Mandarin! 

 

Our Mandarin teacher, Lou Lou, taught us a few key phrases and a song.

We're looking forward to our next session!

A Modroc Masterpiece!

Stage two of our Greek masks saw us experiencing the VERY messy media of Modroc.  Modroc is a bandage of plaster of paris - we had to cut it into strips, then wet it, before molding it over our masks.

 Although it got very messy, we all really enjoyed using this to help us create our masterpieces.

Next stage, painting!
