Year 4’ s Lightning Speed topic is coming to an end but before we finish we have researched the life of Joannes Gutenberg and here is what we found out:
At the beginning of the 1400’s there were an estimated 1000 or so books in the West, however by the end of the 1400’s there were an estimated 100,000 books to be found in the West. Why? Because of an inventor and craftsman named Johannes Gutenberg. Johannes introduced letterpress printing to Europe with his movable type printing press. Though movable type was already in use in East Asia, Gutenberg invented the printing press, which later spread across the world. His work led to an information revolution and the unprecedented mass-spread of literature throughout Europe.
It used to take 3 years to hand copy a Bible in Latin before the letter press, however with Gutenberg’s invention they could print 180 copies in that time. One of Gutenberg’s Bibles is now worth a staggering £30 million – just think how many books you could buy with that!
Not only did we research, we had a go at printing ourselves
. Maybe we have the next printing specialist.
Year 5 – Art
Year 5 have been busy painting planets for the backdrop of their upcoming “Mission Control” space performance. We can’t wait to see it all in action!

Nursery: Listening & Sounds
In Nursery we have been trying to identify different sounds. Today, we all put on a pair of giant listening ears and went on a sound walk. We heard big gusts of wind, birds singing in the trees, lots of different vehicles and the construction workers nearby.

In history we learned about the significance of the paperclip during WW2 and its links to Norwegian students who wore them as a symbol of resistance in the fight against Anti-semitism. Inspired by this we created our own wire sculptures using garden wire. It was very fiddly but we had lots of fun! @DimensionsCC #Year 6

Year 6 had a visit from Bradford’s Road Safety Team this morning. We learned how to stay safe on the roads, especially with their transition to secondary school coming up. We also learned about the app ‘what3words’ and the emergency number 112 that you can use to help first responders locate you if you are unsure where you are. #Year6 #RoadSafety #what3words #112
