We hope that you have had a wonderful Easter break and eaten lot's of chocolate! This half term we will be busy learning about Victorian Morda, especially the workhouse. If you have any pictures or artefacts that would help our learning, we would love to see it! Our Mantle of the Expert drama takes us back over 100 years to Morda workhouse, where we meet some of the people who worked there and hear their stories. Science - This half term we will be looking at plants, what they need to grow and labelling parts of a plant. History - We will be looking at Victorian Morda and what life was like in the workhouse. Computing - We will be continuing to develop our skills in programming and inputting data. Art - This half term we will be linking our art with our science, and using the work of Georgia O'Keeffe for inspiration to create our own paintings of flowers. Forest school - Forest school will be every other Tuesday afternoon. Please bring suitable kit - water proof coat and trousers, warm trousers and top. No denim, as this can be uncomfortable when it gets wet. PE - PE will be every other Tuesday and Thursday. Please check weekly reminders. Please remember, water is always the best! It keeps brains hydrated and focused, we recommend that children bring only water to school with them. Our Victorian Morda story begins....To begin our story, we looked at a picture of some hands. They were hands that had seen some good things and some not so good. 'I wonder what this person says about them?' 'Their life was hard.' 'They are old.' 'It looks like they are dirty' 'They must have worked hard.' 'They are wrinkly.' We looked at a photograph of a woman. We wanted to know more..... As a team of historians, we decided to meet her and ask her questions. The expert team of historians got straight to work on making notes and finding out more about the person in the picture. International day!From Australia to Wales and Egypt. Celebrating everything that is unique and different about us! We talked about the country which is significant or special to us and found out lot's of information about it too.
