Term 2
English
This term in English, we are using the story and film of How to Train Your Dragon, to inspire the children to write their own narratives about dragons based in the Vikings era.
To help us write our sagas about when dragons ruled the skies in Viking times, we pretended to be Vikings elders talking around the campfire to our grandchildren and children of the village about our memories.
As part of our sagas we came up with a main dragon character and completed a top trumps cards depicting an image of our dragon and what characteristics they would have.
We then completed a vocabulary target, writing down different words to describe our main dragon for our sagas.

In our Design Technology lesson this term, we are going to be looking closely at different food packaging, understanding the purpose and then designing our own.
In our Design Technology lesson today, we looked at different 3D shapes that manufactures use when making packaging for their food items. We carefully opened up a Weetabix box and looked closely at how it is constructed from a net, identifying the faces, interlocking tabs and glued tabs, to which we then drew into our books and labelled. Afterwards we then chose a 3D shape net to cut out and put together.
