We have begun our DT project for the half term makign 3D houses inspired by Zaha Hadid and the gingerbread house from our class reader Hansel and Gretel. In our first session we explored different ways of joining straws together using a range of adhesives.

Reading

Our focus in reading this week was oracy. The children had fun perfuming the poem Instructions for Giants by John Rice, thinking about all the skills we have practised that make a good performance, including pace, volume and presentation.

Art

The children enjoyed our Artist of the Half term study- Ranjit Bhamra, learning about his life and the challenges he overcame. This children were fascinated by the way he produced his art and they had a go at recreating one of his pieces.
