This half term Willows have been as busy and as hardworking as usual. In fact, we’ve been non-stop!

Our topic this term is Rocks, Relics and Rumbles, so we have been learning all things volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis.

The children carried out their own investigation into the properties of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.

To match our explosive topic, we have been reading The Firework Maker’s Daughter in English where we have followed wannabe firework maker, Lila, on her perilous journey to Mount Merapi to meet the Fire Fiend…

In science, the children have been investigating magnets and forces; looking at how different magnets are used, magnetic fields and the different types of forces.

The children have also been busy artists this half term. They have drawn volcanoes, used printing techniques and sculpted 3D ammonites. Don’t they look fantastic!
