In English, we have been reading about Philippe Petit who walked between the Twin Towers in New York. We tried to tightrope walk to gather emotions to include in our writing. Terrified was definitely one of the strongest feelings we all had!

Inspired by images from WW2, Diamond Class learned how to create a backwash and cut images from black paper to create city war scenes. The final images were dramatic and thought provoking.
Diamond Class have been looking at different dance styles that were popular during the wartime period. They choregraphed their own dances based on the tempo and movement used in the original dance. They had great fun performing their versions of the Charleston, Lambeth Walk and the Lindy Hop to the rest of the class.
After visiting the Circus, Diamond Class created their own moving toy based on a circus theme. They investigated moving toys learning the names of parts like follower, slider, cam and axle. They constructed their own box learning how to join moving parts together and then decorated according to their designs. We think they are great.
