Goldilocks and the Three Bears

They tasted a lemon, grapefruit, chocolate and syrup porridge. The chocolate one was definitely the favourite!

Architecture and monuments

Year 5 have finished our architecture art unit by designing our own monuments. The children looked at famous monument examples and thought about how they would like to be represented. We then brought our ideas to life, annotating them to show what our monument means. We have also studied a famous artist / architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and created artist profile pages. We researched facts about Hundertwasser and presented the information using his style of artistry.

Baking

Last week, Reception were very busy designing their own gingerbread person. This week, Reception have been able to bake and decorate their own. Everyone did a fantastic job and the biscuits tasted delicious!
