Yew Class Blog

This week Yew class moved on from making their leaflets about ‘Taking care of ourselves and our world’ to new work inspired by our next book ‘The Great Fire of London’. They have already produced some amazing research pieces on ancient and modern landmarks in London, using laptops. This ties in with our work on the History of London, where we have learned about ‘Londinium’ and the Romans, medieval London, including William the Conqueror and Alfred the Great, and on to the story surrounding Guy Fawkes. They are also in the process of creating some striking cityscape paintings inspired by the work of Ton Schulten, practising colour mixing and geometrical designs. I can’t wait to put them up on our gallery wall and share some photos with you when they are complete. In Science we are learning about how we see, and how light bounces off objects and into our eyes.
In Maths we continue with our place value work, really getting under the skin of how numbers relate to each other, which are greater, which are smaller, and making estimates and comparisons. We are also taking care of ourselves and each other, learning about our feelings, and how we can work with them to get ourselves into a calm, focussed state to help our learning.
​As ever, the class are wonderful to work with and keen on getting stuck in.

Thank you Yew class!
