Our new topic this term will be based around 'all the fun of the fair'. We will be exploring the history of fairgrounds as well as how they differ around the world. We will use a deserted fairground as a scene to create our own creepy suspense stories...
We will look at fairground artwork and how it has developed through time. We will focus on light and electricity in science (including writing a biography of Thomas Edison) along with the forces used by fairground rides. In maths, we will design and create our own theme parks using strict costings. We will also employ our amazing DT skills to create fairground rides and games - with careful consideration of their money-making potential - ready for our enterprise open-afternoon. Roll up, roll up! We can't wait to show off all that we have done!
Here are some of the fairground creations we have made at home.
