Our finished models

The Wrens have worked really hard and have finished their fire engine models!


I liked the wheels and I loved the shutters.


I love my shutters because  they open. 


I like my ladder because it is great.


I liked my wheels because they go fast.



I had fun making my fire engine because madeline helped me.






It is good.


I enjoyed making my fire engine because my teacher  took a photo of the back of the engine and I got to copy it. And  after that  I got a piecse of yellow papper and  I got to
 draw red lines



I liked the ladder because I liked the long lines.


I like it.


Its good .
 

 
I liked the gold bit the best and the hose it was really fun because we had to get some arts straw.
I liked the shutters because we had to get silver powder paint and you can see the yellow bits on the shutters .

The wheels were good because you get to use a saw then you put a straw over so they move.


I enjoyed making the back of the fire engine.



I  liked the  fire  engine and  the  reflectors.

The Wrens have also enjoyed creating their own fire stations:






I think this fire station must be right next to Banham Zoo, Owen!


Wrens have had such a fabulous time creating their models. Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way!

The Great Fire of Banham

On Monday Mrs Taylor and the Wrens reenacted The Great Fire of London!

Look at what we did to our 1666 model houses:
















 
Our houses burned to down the ground just like those in Pudding Lane, London in 1666.
 
In the words of the Wrens: "What a fabulous, amazing and horrifying way to end to finish off the topic!!!"

Fire Engine models

Since we came back from our visit to East Harling fire station, the Wrens have been busy exploring how to create their own moving models of fire engines.

Take a look at us in creative mode!












































































 
 
What a fabulous time we have had so far! Our fire engines are not quite finished yet. We have some more details to add and our wheels need modifying so that they are more secure.
 
Watch out for photos of our finished work featuring soon on the blog!
