We wrote a detailed biography all about Joseph Lister and the changes he made to medicine and we wrote a diary entry from the perspective of Edward Jenner discovering that his vaccine for smallpox worked.

In DT we are making our own cushions with an applique design on it. We practised many stitches but one in particular was the blanket stitch. The children did so well with understanding the skill and the perseverance shown to never give up even when it was hard.
Here are our appliqued cushions! We are so proud of what we created and they all have turned out just as we envisioned it to be.
