Finding out about structures.

This week in DT, Learners have been finding out about structures. Learners have been identifying man-made structures and natural structures. We had to look carefully at igloos and Stonehenge, as although these structures are made from natural materials, man has created the structure. We have been looking around our school grounds to identify different types of structures and are looking forward to learning more in the coming weeks.

In maths we are starting to learn about length and height and are looking forward to measuring everything we see next week!

In science, we have been finding out about adaptations and could identify different adaptations animals had and understood why these had evolved over time. We are looking forward to our class trip in a couple of weeks to consolidate our science learning.

In history, we have been finding out about the first rulers of Great Britain. Learners have been extremely interested in learning about Alfred The Great and William the Conqueror and how they fit in to British history. Next week, we will have a history Drama session with Louise from Red House Theatre, who helps us bring our learning to life!

Check out our website page next week, to see what we have been learning!
