Design Technology - Beanbag frogs

As part of our Rainforest topic, we designed, made and evaluated Beanbag frogs. We demonstrated our sewing skills. We are really impressed by how unique all our frogs are.

Henri Rousseau inspired art

We looked at the artist Henri Rousseau and created sketchbook pages about him. Then we focused on learning how to draw a toucan using a sharpie. We photocopied our art work and used a variety of media to colour e.g. watercolours, oil pastels and soft pastels.

Geography - Rainforest

As part of our rainforest topic, we visited the Amazon with the help of a VR headset and wrote postcards. We looked at the layers of the rainforest and used our Maths skills to produce a line graph of the weather. To finish our topic we compared the ocean and rainforest biomes.
