In RE we have been learning why Easter is important to Christians. We've learnt about Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
World Book Day fun.
We continued to use our colour mixing skills to produce some amazing tigers and flowers.
Spring term creative Thursday- we have learning about how to mix primary colours to make secondary colours. Then we looked at creating textures using different tools.
Over the last few weeks we have been using the online painting tool Kleki in computing lessons. We have learnt how to use the smudge tool and add layers to create these amazing pictures.
07.10.24 - Thankyou to the parents who came to the maths workshop and then enjoyed playing some maths games with the children. We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful.
03.10.24-Creative Thursday. We have continued mark making, learning how to do cross hatching, squiggling, stippling, scribbling and circular scribbling. We then used some of these techniques to do an observational drawing of a cuddly toy.
02.10.24 - Welly Wednesday and PSHE. After thinking about friendship in class and reading a book called Pumpkin Soup, we enjoyed being with our friends and making pretend pumpkin soup in the woodland area.

22.06.23. In creative Thursday we read the book The Great Wave a book inspired by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. In the book a boy rides on the back of the Japanese fish and in Japan on the 5th May they celebrate the festival of "Koi Nobori" (carp streamers) We were inspired by this and drew koi carp which we then printed. We also made some very colourful streamers.
