Being a Technologist
In Term 2, we will be diving into the exciting world of podcasts! Throughout the term, we’ll explore a range of different podcasts to discover what makes them engaging, informative, and fun to listen to. We’ll also be learning how to record high-quality sound, experimenting with different audio techniques, and developing our oracy skills as we practise speaking clearly, confidently, and expressively. By the end of the unit, everyone will have the chance to create their very own podcast episode on a topic they’re passionate about. It’s going to be a fantastic opportunity to be creative, share ideas, and build a brilliant set of digital and communication skills!
Being a writer
For our immersion into our new class text 'Theseus and the Minotaur', we made our very own labyrinth. We used the equipment in the PE cupboard to create a maze with obstacles and dead ends. We then tried to find our way out of the maze.

The children came away full of excitement and knowledge about wolves and other fascinating facts about animals living at the zoo.
