Week beginning 9th September 2019

What a wonderful start to the year the children have had! We are extremely impressed with the role models they are becoming.

We began our topic, Gallery Rebels, by researching famous pictures by artists of the 19th and 20th century and creating picture commentaries of these. This week, we have learnt about the colour wheel; primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary and harmonious colours and the artist Paul Klee. We have used his works as inspiration and applied our newly acquired knowledge to create our own artwork. The children demonstrated excellent focus when painting these.

In Maths, we have been extending our knowledge of place value into the ten millions! We were experts at comparing and ordering these numbers and many of us have mastered rounding - demonstrating superb resilience and problem solving.

In English, we have been looking at our whole school text - Grendel: A Cautionary Tale about Chocolate. The children have use this to help them create their own cautionary tales, working hard to consider how they will develop the characters; portray their personalities and feelings through illustrations and use language appropriate for a younger audience. We are very pleased with how their picture books are coming along!
