Skylark 2021.22

Class teachers: Katy Weston and Madeline Edmunds

Teaching assistants: Angie James-Naik and Farzana Riasat

This term our topics are The Ancient Greeks and Festivals of Lights

We have learnt all about the extraordinary achievements of the Ancient Greeks and the impact their ideas had on our modern lives. We had a great time on our Immersion day when, dressed in full Greek costume, we created Greek art, food and mathematics. The day culminated in an delicious Greek feast and celebration of our learning. In English, we created our own Greek Gods and monsters and wrote mythical style stories.

In the 'Festival of Lights'  topic, we have learnt about the history of Halloween and prepared for our own Stoneydown Festival of  Lights. We are examing the connections between different festivals and the role of light and dark in different customs and cultures. 

In Skylark Class we are working hard to learn our times tables this year. We love Professor Assessor for speed practice and playing games in the classroom with cards and board games. We are all making progress!
