Making Iron Man board games with magnets!

This half term, the children in Cherry class have been learning about the book ‘Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. We undertook a D&T project, where the children evaluated different board games, created a design brief for a board game, and designed their own game, before eventually making, playing and evaluating their own game! In science we have been learning about forces and magnets, and after investigating which types of materials are magnetic, all the children incorporated magnets into their own board games.

Ancient Egypt

Cherry class had fun on our Ancient Egypt wow day! We made Ancient Egypt style headdresses and necklaces, learned to write our names in hieroglyphics and paid a visit to an animal worshipped by Ancient Egyptians... our school cat, Thierry! Cherry Class were also visited by Cleopatra, they asked her questions about her life as a pharaoh and learnt some very interesting facts!

The Lost City of Atlantis

Cherry class have been learning about the Legend of the lost city of Atlantis. After reading the story ‘Dougal’s Deep Sea Diary’, we designed, built, and evaluated our own model submarines.
