Spring 1 Week 5 – History

Stars of the Week: Anderson and Funmi

This week in History, Class 4 looked at Tudor inventions, from the flushing toilet to the fork. They carefully studied the pictures of each invention and came up with adjectives to describe them. Then Class 4 wrote about which invention had the largest impact on life now, and most of them agreed on the flushing toilet. Funmi even guessed the picture of the ‘wrist-clock’ which was the first watch, dating back to 1500!

In Art, Class 4 created their own pinch pots! They used clay to mould their pots and delicately pinched around the sides to create a pumpkin-shaped pot. Next week, we are going to decorate them with patternsĀ  and styles of Yayoi Kusama.

In English, Class 4 started to write out their set of instructions for their royal performance. They considered the chronological order of each step and how they can make sure the performance impresses King Henry VIII – or else they might get beheaded. Anderson paid particular attention to his method to ensure he had included enough detail.
