Rainbows have been exploring an object from the past. They began by guessing what the object could be. There were some really good examples including a coffee pot, kettle, lamp and a teapot. There were some really interesting comments from the children including "This is old" and "it's old because it is dirty." They learnt the word "tarnished" and discussed what material the teapot is made from. The Rainbows passed it around the circle and said that it felt warm so they also discussed that metal can heat up when touched by people as their body heat does this.
They discussed how the teapot looks different to some teapots today and named the legs, feet, handle, lid and spout. They also discussed how before teabags were introduced, loose tea was used and it used to take longer to boil water without an electric kettle. Here they are exploring the teapot!

Team JD had a jam packed day experiencing how the Ancient Greeks lived.
They looked at Ancient Greek puzzles and designed their own Greek shields using the laptops to research designs and implement them to their shields. They investigated the Greek flag, spent the afternoon food tasting and doing their very own Greek Olympics! They created a taster table and marked each food out of ten. They got to try eight different Greek foods such as, olives, figs and feta cheese. Looking at their photos they weren't very sure of some of the food they tried! Team JD really enjoyed dressing up and spending the day doing lots of exciting learning. This week Team CH had the most amazing time at the National Emergency Museum. They have learned so much about the Great Fire of London and really enjoyed travelling through history. Thank you to their special people for making this visit possible!
Here they are in action, getting to see everything they have been learning about over their history topic this term. Well here they are! Team JD's magnificent Greek pots!
They are super proud and impressed with how they have turned out! They really enjoyed planning and creating these master pieces! Their beautiful geometric patterns they had researched and practised previously were added and aren't they amazing! |
