Dragonflies
Welcome to our class page!
Mrs Kennally & Mrs Brown
In English, we recently delved into the enchanting world of rainforests, inspired by Katherine Rundell's captivating novel, The Explorer. As we explored Chapter 1, the children eagerly embraced the story's adventure. They imagined themselves as one of the character’s on the plane and wrote a recount from their perspective. The children used emotive language to express how their character felt, weaving in relative clauses to enhance their narratives. Their recounts we fantastic reads and we were absolutely thrilled to see their creativity flourish. Keep up the superb writing Dragonflies!
In RE, Dragonflies have been investigating the question: What do Hindus believe God is like? So far, we have discovered that Hindus worship one supreme God called Brahman who is everywhere and in everyone. However, he has many different sides which are conveyed through many different Gods and Goddesses which we spent time exploring. We related this to ourselves exploring how we are one person but we have many different sides. We found out that although it might seem as if there are lots of gods and goddesses in Hinduism, each is a way of showing one different aspect of Brahman.
In art, we have been using mechanical engravings as a starting point to develop an awareness of proportion, composition and pattern in drawing. We have made designs, like those below, which we will turn into mixed-media drawings. We had great fun doing these and think our designs are fantastic! We hope you agree!
