Woodpecker Class Autumn 1b

Woodpecker class have steamed through their learning over the last few weeks. In DT, we have chopped and prepared different vegetables, and then planned, made and cooked summer season tarts. Some of us added chillies... not Mrs B!

We finished our Shackleton work in English with stained-paper letters home, written as part of the crew. We then performed a drama piece in the Harvest service. We also studied map reading in Geography and plotted Shackleton's Journey to Antarctica, using grid references.

During our English lessons, we have been working on setting descriptions based on the text Jumanji. We entered our learning into an AI tool to generate images to match our work.

In Maths, the class have worked really hard on addition and subtraction and thoroughly enjoyed Mathletics time to hone our skills, as well as timestable focus.

We visited Wells Cathedral on the 16th October, to learn more about the building itself. We had a fascinating tour and saw 2 incredibly old bibles in the chained library and the Hayles Psalter. The children asked fantastic questions, sketched interesting areas in the cathedral and enjoyed a craft activity of making their own leather bound chained book. The trip on the public bus was exciting too -we sat upstairs!
