1 Red Knowing their Directions

24th May 2023L Chisholm

In Maths this week we have been looking at position and direction.  We used lots of mathematical vocabulary to describe where we were or give our friends directions.  We know full turn, half turn, 3/4 turn and 1/4 turn.  We then moved onto forwards, backwards, left and right.  We had great fun directing our friends around the classroom, completing dances that included directions for us to follow and, possibly the most fun of all

……we programmed a Beebot with directions to arrive at a given destination!

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?

Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

15th May 2023N Fada

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. It’s a chance to think about our mental health and what we can do to protect it.

The place where we go to for comfort and to feel calm is very important as it often helps us to feel better when we are experiencing worries.

Where is your ‘happy place?’ At the beach listening to the waves, walking in the woods, cooking something delicious, spending time with your family, walking the dog?

We would love you to send us some photographs throughout this week showing us the places that make you and your child feel happy and calm.

1 Red are composers!

12th May 2023L Chisholm

We have just started our new theme ‘Light Up The World’ and one of our first lessons was to look at the difference between light and dark in all aspects of our life. We looked at a few pieces of music and decided which instruments played ‘light’ music and which ones were best suited to represent ‘dark music’. As a group, we then composed a light and dark tune.
