Year 4 #embraced our Art activity this week, learning how to draw objects by seeing the 3 shapes. We used ink to show an objects outline, shadows and shadows found inside the objects. 
 

Year 2 have #embraced making a moving vehicle, using wheels and axles. We #enjoyed putting all the parts together, looking how it moves and how we could make it stronger to move on different terrains. We loved taking our vehicles on a walk around the playground! 

Year 6 have #enjoyed their DT topic this half term, especially getting to make and program their own little virtual pets using Micro:bits! This week we programmed the Micro:bits and used our 3D printed holders to finish the product. We had so much fun designing, making and programming!
