Viking Longship Sculpture Work

In Year 1 this week, as part of our case study of The Vikings, we learnt that a sculpture is a 3D piece of artwork, that could be made of anything! We took this knowledge and had a go at making our own Viking longships… out of pasta and marshmallows! As tempting as it was to eat the yummy marshmallows, we resisted and used them as glue for our spaghetti structures. Once we figured out the shape, we had the difficult challenge of working out how to make them 3D. We were resilient and used our problem solving skills to recognise that more spaghetti in one place made it stronger, and we got very creative with our dragon heads for the front of the ships!

Creating Timelines

As part of our learning last week, we have been learning all about Amelia Earhart and the world of aviation. We looked at how flying came to be. Beginning with Leonardo Di Vinci’s ā€œFlying Machineā€. We explored how fast technological developments have been made. We made our own timeline for our display which shows when we were born up to the present day. We will keep adding to this as we go along!
