4 Red Replicates Romero

19th May 2023L Davison

This week as part of our Picture Our Planet Theme, the children in 4 Red have been learning all about Romero Britto, a Brazilian pop artist.

First we looked at Romero Britto and his work. We had a class critique, saying what we thought about his pieces of art. Then we looked at other famous Pop Artists and their work and compared their different styles.

After coming up with some different designs in our sketch books, it was time to recreate some of his work using textiles and creating a collage.

Here’s how it turned out.

Isn’t it fantastic?

Easter Fun in Reception!

30th March 2023K Richardson

This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚

 

Year 1 were out of this world!

3rd March 2023L Chisholm

Year 1 loved our theme of ‘Out Of This World’ on world book day.  They came dressed as all manner of intergalactic oddities.  We based our activities around the book, ‘There’s an alien in your book’ by Tom Fletcher. We firstly created our own alien using playdough and thought of its name, which planet it came from and what it likes to eat (I’m a little scared by how many aliens are out there who want to eat Teachers!).  We then built a rocket to take our aliens back to their home planet (phew).  In the afternoon we enjoyed learning about electricity and gas reactions with a Scientist.  We found out that our bodies conduct electricity and if we hold hands we become a circuit.  We also found out that trapped gas eventually has to be released and we used this knowledge to blast off some rockets.  We have had a great day and can’t wait until next year!

Reception World Book Day! We are out of this world!

3rd March 2023K Richardson

Reception had a fantastic World Book Day!

Everyone made so much effort and some amazing imagination went into some of the costumes. We decorated alien biscuits, made alien headbands, face masks and designed alien underpants!  We drew using a Youtube tutorial and also tried to dance like an alien. In our STEM session we looked at how our bodies create electricity and created rockets using effervescent vitamin tablets.  A truly fabulous day for us all.

 

Learning about Judaism in 1 Red

2nd March 2023L Chisholm

This term we are looking at the religion of Judaism in our R.E. sessions.  The children have looked at a Synagogue and the important artefacts it holds.  We also looked at some of their celebrations and how they differ to the ones we know.  We created our own star of David and a Menorah and were very respectful recognising and understanding differences.
