Term 6 :
During this term, we were pleased to have a representative from the London Fire Department visiting our class to share some important facts about fire safety and some strategies that we might use in the case of a fire to keep us safe.
This term, we were again challenged with the need to protect our environment and the concept that we can all play a part to reduce global warming. In Design Technology, we worked in teams, to design ,make and evaluate our product against the agreed success criteria.
We made bug hotels / houses to encourage the presents of beneficial insects in our school garden by providing them with a home. It is easy. We used recycled materials - tree leaves and a pile of twigs to construct our product. Then we placed our finished products in our school garden.

We read and discussed the unfamili.ar language and features of some well known traditional tales. We focused our writing on the traditional tale ,'Sleeping Beauty' written by the British author Sarah Gibbs.
