Term 4

We continue to answer our key question:

What was the world like when dinosaurs were alive?

We have started preparing our project outcome.  Within our groups we have one dinosaur to focus upon: Pteradactyl, T-rex, Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.

We decided as a group how we would share the information we have learned about our chosen dinosaur.  Each group has a chosen a different way: jigsaw, board game, leaflet and poster. 

First we thought about what we wanted to do and planned it.  Then we decided who would complete which part and completed our first drafts.

...and then it snowed!

The snowflakes were so ginormous that we had to go and try holding them.  We enjoyed looking at pictures of snowflakes and learned that every snowflake is individual - just like us!

Some of our first drafts and critique.  We are so proud of them already, but used critique to help make them even better - to make them 'works of excellence'.

We then made a 2nd draft which we then critiqued and improved to create our final draft. 

Then we used our Rubric again to ensure we had included everything we needed to make a 'work of excellence' - we were 'going for gold'!

These are just two of our final outcomes - we can't wait to share them all with you at

our Presentation of Learning...

In class worship we discussed Mothering Sunday, and thought about what we think makes a great Mum.  We compare this to what Christians believe makes a good Mother. 

We chatted about how all Mums and Mother Figures can be different, but that they all have one thing in common - love

And so we leave behind the world of dinosaurs, and begin to answer our next whole school key question:

Why is Easter important to Christians?

Can you see the new cross that has been added - can you remember what it is called and what is so important about it?

We had great fun during Sports Relief week. 

We particularly enjoyed our morning yoga and sports based Golden Time.

At the end of our Easter Project, in our groups we discussed what we knew about Easter. 

We think you will agree with us that the difference in knowledge from the beginning compared to the end of our project is amazing!
