Term 5- animals, the equator and King Charles III Coronation

May 25, 2023

It has been another really busy term for Sycamore Class!
We have spent a lot of time learning about animals and their habitats and finding out all about food chains. We then designed and made animals out of clay which were then painted. The children practised joining pieces of clay together before making their animals and had some really impressive results!
We also wrote our own animal stories based on the story ‘Meerkat Mail’ by Emily Gravett.  
We found out about hot and cold countries, learned about the equator and compared Bristol to the city of Nairobi in Kenya. There are lots of photos on Tapestry for you to see more.

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III we made collages of his face in red, white and blue and wrote letters to members of the Royal Family convincing them to visit Bristol.

We ended the term with a really fun trip to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm where we could put our newfound knowledge of animals to good use! Have a look at the video to see what we got up to on the trip:
