Phase 3

These Photographs show us the results of Year 6s careful attention to the detail of the glazing process which we explained earlier in term as requiring 3 layers, in some cases 4 layers.

This week, Year 5 started drawing together their learning about the Medieval Period by writing a play about a pilgrimage based on Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

Year 6 made 3D globes from paper, adding maps of the continents as well as the Equator, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the Greenwich Meridian. It was a lot harder than we thought it would be!
