Another half-term already done? WhAt!? Time has really flown by! Here’s a little look at some of our favourite memories this term so far, including the things we’ve really enjoyed learning about.

 

English

For English, we wrote a character description about our own mythical creature, inspired by ancient Greek myths.

“It was fun drawing our own mythical creatures. Mine was inspired by the Minotaur and an octopus and I named it Aquator! It has a gem on its head that controls day and night. It had a muscular body.” – Noah, 5H

Art

We each created a Lotus flower, linking with our previous study of Ancient Egypt as the lotus was a sacred and symbolic flower to ancient Egyptians. We used chalk pastels to design them, using hatching, cross hatching, stippling and scumbling.

“It was fun and creative because we got to use pastels.” – Kaitlyn, 5H

“I found it stressful because it was quite hard to do the techniques but I still managed to do it. It looks better than I thought it would. I feel really good about it now!” Leo, 5H
