Here is just a glimpse of what we have been doing in Sycamore...
2024/2025:
Design and Technology:
In D.T we studied sculptor Antony Gormley and his world famous sculptures. We looked closely at some of his wire figures that represent human form and attempted some ourselves using wire! We think they came out looking great!
2023/2024:
Get Medieval:
We had a brilliant day with 'Get Medieval'. We learnt how to fight as Vikings, explored mythical beasts and had a great afternoon taking on the roles of historic characters in Anarchy 1138.
Design and Technology:
In D.T, we have started our CAM-toy project. We have begun by exploring what a CAM is, what it does and how different types of CAMs produce different movements.
Look at some of our brilliant finished working CAM toys!
In English, we have started reading Stormbreaker. We are three chapters in and the children used super retrieval and detective skills to produce character-profiles. Their posters were so well-thought out, creative and eye-catching!
In English, we read The Lorax, then created a comic-style recount of the story using clear time connectives to link our plot-points.
In Maths, the children showed brilliant resilience when attempting the Four-Fours investigation. Look at their very impressive maths!
