Tymor y Gwanwyn 2022 Spring Term

This term, our whole school focus is on ‘Changes’. We began this chapter with a whole school week exploring the wordless picture book ‘Window’ by Jeannie Baker and creating a range of artwork, maps, collage and coding based on the text. We also took part in an oracy task ‘hot seating’ the main character in the story and asking and answering questions.
 

We studied two of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and created a range of written and creative work inspired by them. Our artwork was also inspired by the work of artist John Piper. In science, we have been exploring the world of plants and animals and enjoyed a lovely walk in Silia Wood.
 

Take a look at some of the wonderful work we have created.
