Roman and [|Byzantine coins] tell interesting stories.

For example the year 4's are doing the **Life in Chains** unit and I have a great link to the BBC Bitesize website and you can explore different food webs by playing games, reading text and doing a quiz.

Here is the assessment task for the year 6's. Assignments to be submitted on Showbie-class codes will be emailed to you. For some history on the Guernica [|watch this clip].



The Kids' Guernica project is an international project where children paint the theme of peace onto a canvas the same size as the original Guernica: 3.5 x 7.8m!

The [|3D You Tube video] of the Guernica can be seen here. A simpler drawn version of it can be seen[| here].

The year 3's are doing their unit on light and colour. Today 3KB got to explore how light is reflected and refracted with a prism, lenses and other different shaped clear blocks/shapes. This website[|Science of light] looks at the Science of light and next week we will explore and record how Science and Art meet with light. In week 5 & 6 we will be [|making our own] kaleidescopes using most of the materials from this website.
