September communication
DT
This term in DT we have been learning about levers and linkages. We designed our own moving mechanism using levers and linkages before making it using card, coloured paper, and split pins. We are very happy with our mechanisms, check some of them out below:
RE
We have been learning about Christianity and the symbolism of Christmas this term in RE. As part of our learning, we explored how Christians use Christingles to celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World, usually during Advent. We also learnt what each part of the Christingles represented before making our own.
