Blended Learning 2021
Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
Unfortunately, 2021 hasn't started the way we were hoping it would and we are now using Google Classroom and Google Meet to carry
out our learning. However, I am SO impressed with how well everyone is doing and with the positive, respectful attitudes we are seeing during online sessions. You are all becoming increasingly confident in using the 'hands up' button to contribute to the inputs which is so lovely to see. The work you are producing is fantastic too! In fact, we are so proud of it, we wanted to share some examples on our class page. Keep tuned as we will update this page regularly to show off some of the amazing work we have been receiving! :)
Our Fantastic Work!
This term, we have loved learning about World War 2! We have produced some amazing work including:
Oil pastel pictures inspired by The Blitz,
WW2 soldier portraits,
Evacuee letters on tea stained paper,
Poems inspired by our own class air raid,
Diary extracts from soldiers in the trenches,
Model gas masks,
A science investigation to see which material best blocks out light,
Propaganda posters,
Morse codes
And so much more! We have been so busy!
A Child's War
For the second half of the Autumn term, our topic will be 'A Child's War' which will focus on World War Two. We will be learning about what life was like for children living during the war time. We are really excited about this topic and have already discussed as a class what we would like to learn about! Take a look at our topic web to see some of the fantastic ideas!
Our Solar System
During our 'Stargazers' topic, we made our own 3D solar system. The process was long but we got there in the end and the children really enjoyed making it!

We are so glad to have you all back with us after a strange end to your last year in school. It will be lovely to catch up and hear all about your summer holidays!
Our topic for the first autumn half term is 'Stargazers' which will focus on space. Linking to the new curriculum, we will plan our activities with all of your ideas so get thinking of what you'd like to do! We are really looking forward to it!
