World of work week

Cypress class have been looking at Engineering for World of work week. 

We have been studying the different types of engineering and different jobs that involve engineering. We studied these types of engineering closely and how these are used in a theme park. We created our own roller coasters in class using recyclable materials. 

We also visited the Emirates Aviation centre and examined how engineering is used when building an aeroplane. Take a look at our pictures of our visit above. 

Please look at the World of work week parent pack that has been sent home and complete the activities with your children.

Our topic this term is All creatures great and small

This topic will allow the children to explore different types of mini beasts and creatures great and small! We will be using this book in both Literacy and Destination Reader.
