Terrific Toys

During term three our focus for this term will be a history and science focus. We will be learning about toys from over time and also looking at the different materials that the toys were made from. Our skill focus for this topic will be ordering toys on a timeline and comparing toys, looking for similarities and differences.

Our English writing will be linked to our Toys topic: instruction writing, rewriting a story linked to Dogger and writing a recount of our trip.

Herons Trip to the Beany Museum

As part of our toys topic Herons went on a school trip to the Beany Museum in Canterbury. We all had a lovely day and learnt lots. We got to meet a doll called Lily who was more than 100 years old. We learnt that she was made of wax and had real human hair.

Computing

This Term our focus was using technology to create list, use graphic editing software to design a rocket and follow a set of instruction. We thoroughly enjoyed following a set of instructions to make a rocket.

Crazy Climates

During term two our learning will be based around our topic Crazy Climate. We will be learning about hot and cold climates and animals that live in those climates. Our English will also be linked to our topic. Our writing focus will be around: Autumn Poems, Snow Queen, My Friend Whale.
