We have had a very busy first week back! Using our maths skills, Sounds Write skills and being very creative. We have been looking at China and visiting our Chinese restaurant we created.
We have had a great time at our Halloween disco. We all looked scarily good too!
A fabulous Halloween spooktacular week in Reception! Potions, spells, magical moments and amazing creativity
Michael Jordan
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can’t accept not trying”
We have started our new Learning Means The World theme ‘Zero to Hero’ and one of the first people we have looked at is Michael Jordan. We found out that he was turned away from basketball but because he loved the sport he kept trying and trying until he was successful. We then decided that we needed to be a bit like Michael and keep trying our best. We then went outside and tried to shhot some hoops. We found that we got better the more we practiced. We then found out that Nike thought he was that inspirational that they named some sports shoes after him! We decided to design our own ‘Air Jordan’s’.
Take a look at some of the homework created this half term linked to ‘Lightning Speed’. Well done year 4.
We have definitely embraced Autumn in Reception this week! Making Autumn wands, repeating patterns and prints and capacity using conkers. The children have been using their Sounds Write skills and emerging handwriting to write sounds and words. A very busy and fabulous week ❤️
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.
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!
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!
