Wow, what a start to the new term!
This week, the children began learning about measuring capacity and volume in millilitres, which led to a fun, if slightly messy, lesson involving water and containers from around the classroom! The children loved getting hands-on with their learning and testing out their estimation skills.
In art, we explored different shading techniques, experimenting with pencils to create light, shadow, and texture. The children really got stuck in and produced some fantastic results!
But the most extraordinary moment of the week came on Wednesday morning...
Mr Hargreaves arrived at school with incredible news, he had spotted a mysterious creature on his way to work! It had enormous, scaly wings, a long tail that shimmered in the morning light, and it let out a deep, echoing roar as it soared high through the sky. Although it was far in the air, it cast a huge shadow over the road below. Mr Hargreaves couldn’t believe his eyes, and even managed to capture video evidence to show the children. Gasps filled the classroom as the footage played.
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any more dramatic, Mr Hathaway and Mrs McCann rushed in to share what they had seen too. Both were shaken and amazed by the sighting of the soaring creature overhead.
The children were absolutely hooked. This unbelievable encounter launched our new English unit on newspaper reports, because of course, a mysterious sighting like this deserves to make the front page!
