After an exciting week with our Silk FM visit and celebration for St Albans day, we did some relaxing clay pinch pots. This is the first stage, next week we will paint, glaze and plant them.

We have been generating lots of exciting descriptive phrases about the world around us. We spent the morning in the science garden and school grounds looking at what we could see, hear, smell, touch and how it made us feel.

We have been recreating Cezanne's still life using sketching and watercolours.

We learnt a new computer skill today! We had to use code instructions to catch the pigs using Angry Birds, it was great fun but very challenging,

At last, you can see our fantastic room designs. We have added our electrical circuit to make them light up!

Juniper and Hazel classes looking wonderful! It's World Book Day!

We have travelled around the world's art galleries looking at how art and music have changed over the years. We had lots of fun learning about different string instruments and how they have some things the same and some things different. We got very excited when they talked about our bright spark Van Gogh!

Here are some pictures of your little angels, making little angels. We have been thinking about the Annunciation when Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. We followed instructions to make our own.

Problem solving in our Maths lesson

Planting bulbs by following instructions in our English lesson

We have had lots of creating pointillism paintings using cotton buds ready for our Christmas card designs. We used bright colours to make dots to create our picture. We hope you like them and buy lots for our families!

We have also been looking at instructional writing. We have thought about what a good set of instructions should have, then follow a set to make our own poppies for Remembrance Day.

We have been looking at the history of going to the seaside and how it has changed from the past. We have had lots of fun looking at different examples of puppets from around the world and focusing on Punch and Judy.
