Otley Chevin

Otley Chevin was a great chance to stretch our legs and see all of the wonderful things we have been learning about close up. We started by seeing the brilliant rocks that we researched in topic – they have been there for millions of years! We then completed classification keys in groups, similar to those we did in class.

A short walk followed which led us to the White House Cafe, where we stopped for lunch.

After a quick pit-stop, we were faced with climbing steps to higher ground in the Chevin. Luckily, my class were well trained because of their Year 5 Malham Cove trip! Stathi was the first up the steps with his group of boys, shortly followed by myself (gasping for air).

We had a short rest and then found the exact location that an artist we have been studying – James Bywood – painted a picture:

We had a go at sketching our own pictures in the style of James Bywood, we shall be finishing them in school. I didn’t get to see them all, but was really impressed with Macauley’s effort at his picture.

The day ended by collecting vocabulary in preparation for writing at school and overlooking Otley from the ‘Surprise View’.

Here are some snaps from the day:

And here are John’s more professional photos:

A big thanks to the teachers: Miss Hall, Miss Whiteley, Mrs Bentley, Miss Burrows, Mr O and John for making the day so epic for us!

Science

We learnt about classification keys in Science and how to sort various things. We went on a leaf hunt around the school grounds and then began carefully creating our diagrams. I was really impressed with Chloe and Lexi’s ability to do this, as well as Ibrahim in his group. The classification keys worked really well as you can see below!
