This afternoon, we started our printing topic in Art. We looked at artwork by William Morris, Richard Shimmel and Lisa Stubbs. We then used carbon paper to print pictures we had drawn onto our paper in repeating patterns.

We have started our ‘Let’s Travel!’ topic in class and within that we are going to be learning all about electricity, circuits and conductors and switches. Our first lesson this week was talking about all the components that make up a simple circuit. The children all managed to make the bulb light…
