Welcome to Venus Class

 Autumn Term: 

A whole school term has flown by and here in Venus class we have enjoyed learning about both WW1 and WW2 - of course this was a special year to have WW1 as our topics as it was the 1 year anniversay since WW1 ended. 

We did many acitivities that focused on WW1, such as: understanding how WW1 began; looking at the BJA log book from WW1 and how it effected the school; researching life in the trenches and creating poems about rememberance. 

We also studied the famous Flanders Field poem and created a 'stained glass' effect when writing it up. Our class also visited the memorial and looked for names on the memorial that we had found in a log book too. We created some Art to pay tribute to these people. 

   
  In history we used a range of resources to learn about evacuess in WW2, we worked in groups to create our posters. 

 In art we have focused on our portrait skills and produced a piece of art work from, 'The Boy in the striped pyjamas.' This also crossed over with our learning in RE about Jews and in History understanding how Hitler treated Jews.
