Last week the children were immersed in our topic of Australia.
In art, we have been looking at how the Aboriginal people of Australia use natural materials to create beautiful dot work pictures. They used their art work to tell stories. We created our own of Australian stories using the Aboriginal symbols and we also tried printing Australian animals with ink.
In our geography lessons we have been learning about the Great Barrier Reef. We looked at maps to find out where it was and we imagined we were fish swimming in it. We discovered that it looks quite different today to what it looked like 20 year ago. We found out about pollution and global warming and how it is affecting the reef.
In writing we are using The Day The Koala Could for inspiration and we are writing our own ending to the story. We thought about what could happen next through drama and we acted out different scenarios. We used these ideas to help us plan our story ending. This week we are going to be writing it.
