We will be looking at Napoleon this term running up to 14 juillet celebrations! Can you find out any interesting facts about him?

Can you learn the Marseillaise? (The French National Anthem?)

Allons enfants de la Patrie,  
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !  
Contre nous de la tyrannie,  
L’étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes  
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?  
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras  
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !  
   
Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons !
Qu’un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

Year 2 have been looking at Mandarin characters. We have started by exploring how the Mandarin Character Shui could have originated from the images of Water.

We mind mapped all types of sources of water and then designed some around the character Shui
