Let's Investigate

This morning J1 have been busy investigating magnets. We have been predicting which materials are magnetic and materials that are not.
Bethan said, "I found an old one penny coin in the school garden. It has the date 1911 on it. I predicted that it would be magnetic and I was really surprised to find out that it wasn't. When I tested a 2p coin I found out that it was magnetic".

We have also been investigating the question 'What did Celtic Warriors Look Like?'

We began by asking 'What interpretations do we have of the Celts?'

We looked at some interpretations and discussed them.

Then we created our own interpretations from the evidence we examined.

Here is Jay's interpretation of what a Celtic Warrior might have looked like.

We then compared our interpretations and looked for similarities and differences in our work.

We talked about the sources that Year 3 and other artists and writers might have used.

We recognised that the past is represented and interpreted in many different ways.

What do you think of Jay's interpretation?
