Terrific Topic Homework!

The homework brought in this week has been fantastic!

A 'dead' good art lesson!

This week children have been learning about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. In a rather eerie art lesson children were given the task of sketching bodies! In pairs they took turns posing and drawing and next week they will make models of their sketches using clay. Look at the picture at the bottom of the page of the visitor site in Pompeii - this is what we will be making a model of. 

Earthquake!!

This proves Natural Disasters aren't always in far away places!! Thank you for bringing in this BBC news report detailing an earthquake that happened last night in the Midlands. 

I promise this was real...I did NOT fake an earthquake with an iPad App!! :-)

Pen Pal Letters

Our letters (from every class in the school) are all ready to send to Sicily. We cannot wait to get our replies!!

Pompeii - RESPONSE REQUIRED!

We have been learning about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii in literacy and history lessons. 

Creating a timeline of events. 

Can you remember what happened? Could you write a short recount in a blog comment? Remember to use punctuation and check your spelling carefully before you post. 

Pompeii Pictures

Thank you very much for bringing in photographs that your grandparents took when they visited the lost city of Pompeii.

Chess club

Several children in year 3/4 have joined the lunch time chess club. It looks like good fun!! Thanks to Mr Bradshaw for running it! 

Handling the chicks!

Adorable!!!
