This week the children completed their assessment in Geography. First, they looked at a map of the Isle of Wight and debated where the best place was to put a city. Using their knowledge of the human and physics, features of a city helped. Some children thought Newport was the obvious place as it is the capital of the Isle of Wight and it is near a river. Others thought Shanklin or Sandown might be a good place as it is near the coast and there would be good transport links as well as places to eat. 

The children then drew a city and their features .

We even chose Iron Age names for ourselves and learned a little about Iron Age law and order!

Music - Week 1 & 2

 Air - Music Our topic in music this half term is 'Air'. In week one, we explored the musical term 'pitch' and the children listened to a piece of music, identifying some dramatic changes in pitch. This week was week 2 and we explored the musical terminology 'timbre' and 'dynamics'.

They performed their compositions and the rest of the class described the mood that they had created through their music, using the new musical vocabulary, timbre and dynamics.
