1. Modroc Elephants in Year 4

   January 12, 2022 10:50 am Leave a Comment

   Year 4 have worked hard over the last few weeks to create a model elephant as part of their topic Incredible India. They used newspaper and card to make the base shape for their model, before using Modroc to create a hard outer layer. Then they painted their elephant in bright colours and patterns like the elephants in the festival of Hastimangla, a festival celebrated in Jaipur where the elephants are decorated with bright body paint, jewellery and sparkling cloths.

   This week year 3 have started looking at ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. Before they started reading the book they learned the poem ‘The Coming of The Iron Man’ by Brenda Williams as it is a great summary of what happens in Chapter 1. Following on from this, they looked at the Iron Man’s head and had a go at sketching it. They added shading and colour with oil pastels and the results were fantastic! Well done children.

   This morning, Year 1 wrapped up warm and enjoyed a frosty winter walk. The children were looking for signs of winter as part of their science topic ‘Seasons’. They came up with some lovely adjectives such as crunchy, slippery, chilly and sparkly to describe the things we spotted. The children took lots of lovely photos and drew pictures on the frosty tables.

   Year 3 have designed and made kites this week. They researched materials and made prototypes so they could practice securing the cross bar and main frame to the kite material. They thought about ways to strengthen the edges of the kite, used the saw to cut the wood for the frame and secured the string to the bridle. Now they are waiting for a windy day to test them.
