THE SPANISH ARMADA

Over the last couple of weeks in Lynx base, we found out that the Spanish attacked the English when Queen Elizabeth I order the execution of her cousin Mary of Scots. We learnt that Elizabeth had intercepted a letter written in code, by Mary, which plotted to over throw Elizabeth. We used the same code to act as an advisor,  to tell Elizabeth what to do with her troublesome cousin. Here is an example of our work.        

In class we each painted our own Spanish ships for the Armada. Erin and Jamie painted a stormy sea as a backdrop to our pictures.

Finally we created a list of provisions which we thought we would need to take with us on the journey. It included food, water, weapons and a map.

Yesterday I leant about 3D shapes and there properties in Numeracy.
It was good fun because we got to paint 2D and 3D insects.
we were proud of our work because we did very neat handwriting.

Our Maths Lesson

Yesterday, I learnt about symmetrical patterns and lines. The best part was when we had a piece of paper with triangles on and we made shapes.  I made a agent with orange eyes and a hat and a bow tie. We learnt lots about symmetry lines.  It was fun!

Elizabeth 1

Elizabeth met Mary in the Tower of London.     A messenger brought a letter for Elizabeth.  The letter said Mary is going to kill you.  They had a battle, which resulted in Mary's death.  Mary was executed , her head was cut off.

FUN WITH MATHS

Last week in numeracy, Lynx base
were exploring shape and symmetry. The class particularly enjoyed applying their knowledge of nets, 3D shapes and lines of symmetry through art, DT and photography.

Can you see the lines of symmetry?

LIFE IN TUDOR TIMES

This week we have been finding out what it might have been like to be a Tudor. Not too bad if you were rich. Pretty horrible otherwise!
We researched about Tudor homes, rich and poor and found out quite a lot about the different materials and styles of Tudor houses. We then designed our own Tudor buildings based on houses that are still standing today and the information we gathered. (Not surprisingly, everyone wanted a town dwelling) Finally we made our houses. I think you'll agree they look pretty impressive - a little draughty,  possibly! Flushing toilet, if you're lucky. Rats, definitely! Watch out for the advertising campaign coming your way soon.

OUR OWN TUDOR PORTRAITS

The Tudors, if they were rich, had portraits painted of themselves. They usually used a blue background as this was considered quite regal and they displayed them in beautiful gold frames. Can you work out how we made our frames?

WORLD CUP HERE WE COME!

This term we are fortunate to have a qualified coach form the Dorset Football Association come to coach us. All  the boys and girls are enjoying  learning new skills (and in Mrs Green's case, honing her skills!)

See if you can spot the next Gerrard or Terry, you never know.

Oops! Is this not netball?

The start of term has been a busy one in Lynx base. The children arrived back with boundless energy and plenty of enthusiasm. They had gone to great efforts to research the name of their class and were keen to share their findings with the rest of their peer group. Contrary to popular believe, it wasn't named after a helicopter but an endangered wild cat! 

The children collectively and independently, produced their class charter. This is a set of guidelines that they designed to help them  gain the most  out of their school lives. It is based on  rights and responsibilites.
