This week in Learning Means The World, the children have been practising, adapting and improving their printing skills. The children used lino pads and carving tools to create multi-layered block printed pictures. Well done Year 4.
In Year 1, we have been looking at instructions and how we use them. Today, we decided to make a witch’s brew using lots of different ingredients. We used our imagination when making the brew and changed the name of the ingredients to fit the theme of Halloween. We used sequencing vocabulary to orally tell our friends how to make the brew before finally drinking it. We loved being witches in this lesson!
We loved having our parents join us for our reading and phonics workshop. We hope you had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing us working hard.
As part of the Four Seasons project, we carried out an investigation to answer ‘Do all trees change colour in Autumn?’ We went on an autumn walk, observing and collected various autumnal objects. We discovered that some trees are deciduous and some are evergreen. We also learnt that some birds migratre south for the warmer weather.
With the things we collected along the way, we created some artwork inspired by Richard Shilling. We are really proud of our creations!
We are always kind in 7 Red – but today we all made a super effort and shared what it means to be kind to our friends.
For World Mental Health Day 7 Blue have been learning that our feelings are important and discussing how to care for ourselves and each other.
We made a Kindness Wheel, gave it a spin and it revealed a random act of Kindness that the children had to complete. I very proud watching them all being super kind to each other by giving complements, writing kind notes and making cards for each other. This made us all feel very happy. Well done 7 Blue!
We celebrated world mental health day by being kind to each other and ourselves. We discussed the feeling we get when someone is kind or unkind to us then we took part in drawing and designing our own mental health day pictures.
In 2 blue we are working on a Four Seasons Project and the first season we are looking at is Autumn. We have discussed what happens in this season, different types of trees and the colours and feelings we have during Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk and created pictures using Autumnal items that we found along the way.
It’s been a super creative week in 4 Blue, we’ve been creating not just in Learning Means the World but in English too. We’ve been tackling some Art during Learning Means the World this week and have been looking at Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press, discussing the mechanics of its use and doing some printing ourselves! Here are some of the pieces of artwork your children have created. 4 Blue have persevered, been innovative and resilient all week – well done 4 Blue!
