Welcome to the Micmac Class page. Here you can see some of our displays and find out what we have been doing recently. Micmac Class consists of Years 3 and 4 and is taught by Miss Harper with Mrs Boundy and Mrs Nott.

Looking back at the Spring Term: During Science week Micmac class children having been investigating forces and motion. Some children tested the different sizes of parachutes and whether air resistance affected how fast they fell to the ground. They found the bigger the surface area of the parachute the slower it fell to the ground. The children also tested the weight v upthrust in water. If a ball of plasticine sank to the bottom of a bowl of water, could they re- shape the plasticine to make it float? The flatter the object, the more likely it was to float. The children also made boats and tested how many counters it took to make the boat sink. The boats where weight was evenly distributed held the most counters. They also tested the effect of magnetic forces in liquid. The children placed paper clips in water and attached a magnet to a piece of string and went ‘fishing’ for paper clips. They found that the magnet picked up the paper clips in the water, so magnetic forces do work through liquids.

Here are some children producing more art work. They are producing abstract paintings using bright, vivid colours.

Micmac Class’ topic wall. We have been research famous art and artists and looking at identifying different material and their properties through questioning and experimenting.

A sample of 3D masks from our Sculpture workshop on KS2 Big Art Day. Samples of work from children’s portfolios: creating images/pictures using chalk and charcoal and blending the colours together.

Fun and games in the playground in a well deserved break time. The children working hard writing a personal statement about their passion for art.

Looking back at the Autumn Term: In these pictures you can see our poetry door, we read the poem Tiddly Pom by A.A. Milne and put it on our door for everyone to see. We've also been looking into Tudor times and been finding lots of interesting facts for our display.

Here are some pictures from our trip to Trerice with children making maps and using Tudor style stamps.
