Max's Seaside Diorama

Max was sick this week, but that doesn't mean his learning has stopped. He has been using our learning about dioramas and habitats and he and his brother have created an awesome beach diorama.

If you do anything awesome in the holidays, send Mr Horn some photos and he will put them here on the class blog to keep the sharing, the learning and the fun going.

Designing a Classroom

As part of the Education Brief Room 20 and 21 are designing a future classroom.

We are integrating this into our maths programme by having the children use an imaginary budget to design and furnish their future classroom. The children are working in teams to design, budget and in the next few weeks, build a diorama of a classroom.
