Robins
Welcome to Robins!
Our class teacher is Mr Pitt and our TA's are Mrs Evans and Miss Stones.
In the Summer term, our focus is the Ancient Egyptians. We will be learning all about their daily lives, their beliefs, their amazing buildings and, of course, their mummies!
In Science, we are learning about Electrical Circuits and Conductors. We will be doing lots of practical investigations using circuits, and learning about safety around electical devices.
In Art, we are exploring 3-D representation of the human form, including statues, statuettes and figurines. We will study examples from ancient civilisations, and use clay skills to create a figurine.
