Chestnut class has had a fabulous start to the year. We have used watercolours to paint vases based on Venetian Murano glass, thinking about the colour mixing using primary colours, making a colourful display outside our classroom. In topic work and science, we have been learning about our earth under our feet, we investigated Vicious volcanoes including the destruction of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius. In DT we designed and made our own volcanoes, then during role play as Pompeiian citizens we set them off using different chemical processes.
In maths we investigated place value, through playing games, talking and playing with the ICT equipment and other resources. This was super fun, we almost forgot we were actually learning. In English we have been doing writing based on King Midas (everything he touched turned to Gold), but everything our characters touched turned to skittles, we even ate some skittles while we were writing to inspire us – yum!
We are really looking forward to the rest of the year, where we are going to investigate Rotten Romans, do some experiment with rocks and soils, moving onto magic magnets in science. We are also going to be working with a visiting drama company – Stiltskin - every week to create our own theatre show, we think this is very exciting! All this and much much more…
