Labyrinths in 5B!
As part of our new English unit, we have been investigating the idea of labyrinths and how - in Ancient Greece - they were all made in the same way! Check out our attempts - some are outside, and some are in the hall as rain interrupted our labyrinth-making!
Moving Minibeasts
We have been learning how a moving picture is made and experimenting with making their own. We used a sliding mechanism and decided whether we wanted it to be a horizontal, vertical or diagonal lever.
