This term Year 5/6’s topic is Technotastic – looking at all of
the cool technological techniques we can use to enhance things such as stories
and books. We will be using cameras, sound recording and editing devices and
animation programmes. We are hoping to use a programme called Photoscape to
create animated gifs. Here is a link to the free downloadable programme.
Our author focus is Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. We will be
focusing on the Prologue and the introduction of the characters involved in the
pilgrimage.
In science we will be looking at Changing sounds, which we
will link in with the Technotastic topic.
In Welsh we are continuing with our Awyr study, looking at
heroes.
Of course, this is Christmas term so we will also be putting
lots of effort into our Cinderella Rockafella production.
