This half term has been extremely busy and exciting for Sycamores!

We continued our Ancient Greek history topic by visiting the Great North Museum (Hancock) in Newcastle where we saw lots of genuine artefacts found by historians and archaeologists. Afterwards, we played in Exhibition Park and ate delicious ice creams!

As part of our history learning, we invited our parents in for a “Greek afternoon” where we tasted many different Greek foods including: feta cheese, olives and bread with oil. We even made olive leaf crowns, like the ancient Olympians would have worn if they won a race.

We also visited The Word in South Shields as part of our computing work. We programmed new games using Scratch. We learned lots and it was great fun!

In science, we carried out an experiment to test friction. We compared lots of different materials to see which allowed a weight to slide across it the easiest. We discovered that the rougher the material, the more resistance it created.

At the end of term, we filled our marble jar and as a reward we played board games and had ice cream with a choice of a wide variety of toppings.
