THE WORLD AROUND US

KENYA WORK

In Room 4 P7 have been very busy learning about their World Around Us topic – Kenya.  They have been researching facts and information about Kenya.  They know where Kenya is located in the world and what the climate, population and landscape is like.  They also know that Kenya is home to some of the world’s most beautiful animals.  They have produced some beautiful zebra selfie pictures as part of their learning about zebras and their unique and distinctive patterns.  

They have also created a beautiful Safari scene collaboratively and some fact leaflets about Kenya in pairs/threes.

P7 have really enjoyed learning about the Victorian Era in history as their WORLD AROUND US TOPIC.  They produced some beautiful pencil sketches of Queen Victorian looking very regal in Art.  They did a splendid job.

CHARLES DICKENS - FAMOUS VICTORIAN AUTHOR

As part of their topic on the Victorians P7 did an in depth study on the famous Victorian author - Charles Dickens.  They designed alternative book covers for one of his most famous books - OLIVER TWIST.  They also created lots of creative writing based around the workhouse and the lives of children during Victorian times.  

They also studied the art work and style of the Victorian artist and architect

Charles Rennie - Mackintosh from Glasgow.  The pupils then created their own stain glass window designs in the art deco style.

THE VIKINGS

P6 and 7 in Room 4 have enjoyed learning all about the Vikings in their World Around Us topic January and February.  They have now displayed some of their wonderful artwork and written work in the corridor for everyone to enjoy.  They have created some fantastic pieces of work and are very proud of their completed work.  They have even been working on some of their artwork at home and then embellishing it more intricately at school.  They have also created Viking longships and longhouses on Minecraft in pairs.  As they concluded their topic they shared what they found most interesting about the topic and what they had found out that they hadn’t known at the start of their topic. 

Well done P6 & 7!
