Happy Holidays! - Synopsis:

As geographers, we will learn about the countries and capital cities of the UK. Then, we will compare a UK and a non-European country. As writers, we will learn how to build descriptive clauses using nouns, verbs, adjectives and prepositions. Then, we will write our own holiday brochure for Goa, India. As artists, we will develop our collage skills in order to create an image for our brochure which includes a background and inset picture(s).

Puppet Masters - Synopsis:

As historians, we will be exploring toys and games from the past to help us to ask historical questions and to help us to understand changes within living memory. As writers, we will learn how to write character and setting descriptions. Then, we will write our own short story based on our class story, Peter Pan. As artists, we will develop our printing skills by examining the work of Henri Matisse and creating our own nature prints by printing a repeating pattern using natural resources.
