This week, we have been busy learning all about a mandir as part of our RE topic on Hinduism. We learnt about what it looks like inside as well as the traditions and rituals they follow here. We compared some of these to Christianity to identify similarities and differences between the two religions.

This week, we have been busy creating our own planets. We used oil pastels to create the designs, and then wrote fact files about them, thinking about the atmosphere, distance from the sun and the length of their year/day.

This week, we have been doing some Maya-inspired artwork in the style of Georgia O’Keefe. We used oil pastels to create our own artwork based on Chichen Itza. We used bright colours to recreate the same style as Georgia O’Keefe.

Last week, we went to Buckingham Palace for our first trip of the year. We walked along the Southbank so we could see lots of different landmarks. We saw Big Ben, The London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral and The Houses of Parliament. Once we got to Buckingham Palace, we enjoyed our landscape drawing session.

Stars of the Week: Rosa & Jacob

This week, we have been learning all about the different planets in our solar system. We created our own mnemonics to help us remember the order before we researched facts about them. Did you know that a year on Mercury is only 88 days, but a year on Neptune is 60,190 days – that’s 165 Earth years!

We also finalised our Class Charter which is now displayed proudly in class.
