The Foxes

Autumn Term 2021

It was great to be back at school in the autumn term. It has been busy and challenging but the children have been fantastic throughout.

The Three Little Pigs

It began with our topic on the Three Little Pigs, where we explored different versions of this traditional fairy tale.
One fun activity was a child interviewing ‘Mr Wolf’, to find out his side of the story.

Science

During our science topic we explored what animals, including humans, need to survive.

We found a message in a bottle from a castaway who needed help!

The Gunpowder Plot

The children were fascinated about our topic in Guy Fawkes.

They enjoyed learning about the Gunpowder Plot, looking at historical sources and deciding whether they thought Guy Fawkes or King James I was right. There was some thought-provoking discussion about whether his actions were justified or not and the children were brilliant detectives, questioning whether we should believe the things different sources tell us.

We started by acting out the role that Guy Fawkes played in the plot.

They each wrote a recount, pretending to be Guy Fawkes, telling how he was caught.

Then they took turns to read their work to a partner, which they loved doing.

Art Week (Bridget Riley)

Everyone loved our art week where we learned about the Op-Art of Bridget Riley.

The children created some incredible individual and collaborative art.

They worked brilliantly together, just like the Together Twins!
