Summer Term

Science - Animal Adaptation

 

In Science, Penguins leant about how polar bear's have adapted to its changing habitat through climate change.

First, they played the iceberg game in the hall where they were polar bears at the dramatically shrinking North Pole.  Then,  experimented with the polar bear's layers of fat and fur, and how this protects them from the cold.  They also camouflaged their polar bears so they can hunt their prey. Can you spot any?

Independent Writing - Penguins made BFG magical dream jars to help support their ideas for their own version of the BFG’s dreams.

Music - Rock 'n' Roll

Practising walking bass lines on the glockenspiels to go with

'Rock Around the Clock' for our music unit.

(A bass line has a low pitch and is the lowest part of the music. It creates rhythm, as well as harmony with the chords. This adds to the texture of the music.)

Art and Design

Penguins created a 3D fish soap sculpture, using tools and their hands to carve, model and refine their fish sculptures.

Penguins interviewed a plague victim, Mr Parnham, in readiness for planning their playscripts.

R.E.

Penguins were thinking about the Kingdom of God; what makes a good leader or a bad leader? The children practised being leaders of different types and gave orders to others, then they decided if they were good or bad!

English – testing out and exploring different playscripts, acting parts out, which ones were good and why?

Design Technology

This term's DT project is about building summer pavilions, we used sweets and cocktail sticks to explore structures and shapes and how different frames could be built.
