4 Ennis Art

 This week in art we have been looking at the British artist called Lucian Freud. He used to spend lots of time with the people he painted before he painted them so that he could capture their personalities in his work. The children created their own portraits using half of their own faces. Here are some of their results. 

 Year 5 Science experiment

This week we looked at the best material that would make a thermal insulator. We did this by taking increment measurements of water with thermometers as time elapsed. We had to of course make sure that all variables were kept consistent! 

What did the tiger say?

 The children have loved reading 'The tiger who came to tea'.
They also learnt about speech bubbles.
Following the lessons, the children wrote about what the tiger said as he knocked on Sophie's door.

Would you let the tiger in?

Year 1 at Redbridge Library

 We went to the library in Ilford. We had a great session looking at toys.

Year 2 visit Hainault Fire Station

 

Today 2 Adams visited our local fire station on New North Road as part of our learning in English, Design Technology and History, where we are learning about the Great Fire of London.

We were able to hear the siren that alerts fire fighters to their next job, learn about what type of emergencies that the fire service gets called to and explored what equipment is kept on the fire engine itself. 

We were lucky enough to see the specialist fire engine at Hainault, one of only three in London, which holds even more water and has longer ladders than standard engines.

As a special bonus, every child (and adult) had a turn at using the hose for target practise!

Thank you so much to the fire fighters who welcomed us and gave us a guided tour today.

4 Ennis English

 This week in English have been looking at our story in detail. The children annotated a scene based on their thoughts and opinions. Here are some examples of their work.
