Red Squirrels

Lexi believes she was resilient in Maths this week when we were learning about money. At first Lexi found it tricky to count the money and find the amount. However the next day Lexi had another go and was put on silver for her efforts and determination!

We have been curious learners in English this week, we have been finding out facts about mini beasts using non-fiction texts, information sheets, the internet and images.

We have been reflective today because we wrote up or riddles in our best handwriting, we had to edit our work making sure we had used capital letters, full stops and the correct spellings.  (Harry C)

On Thursday we were creative in Art. We have started to create a display board in the style of Mr McGregor’s garden. (Isobel) We used water colour like Beatrix Potter to create our images. (Chloe)

We have been curious learners in Science this week. We found out what different parts of a plant we are able to eat. We found out we can eat the stem, leaves, roots and the fruit. (Lenny)

We have been very creative, curious, reflective, collaborative, resourceful and resilient learners this week! On Monday we were curious when we looked at different flowers. We looked the different part of the plants; plants have a stem, petals, leaves and roots. We then practised drawing different flowers onto a piece of paper that had been folded into four. We used our sketching techniques to draw them.

After break we learnt about the artist Georgia O’Keeffe. She draws flowers in different ways to any other artists. She makes her flowers fill the page so that the petals look like they are falling off of the page. We used iPads to take photographs of the flowers and then we zoomed in to make the petals look like they were falling off of the screen.

We then all drew and painted a picture of our flower in the style of Georgia O’Keeffe.

On Tuesday we all became teachers! We taught Reception and Year 1 about the artist Georgia O’Keeffe and the techniques she used. We also learnt about Andy Warhol, he was a pop artist and the artist Monet who uses dabbing and swirling techniques to create his paintings.

In English we have been reading The Scarecrows’ Wedding, by Julia Donaldson.  We have been writing sentences using conjunctions to join two small sentences together.

‘You can come to our wedding if you give us a feather.’

Harry O’Hay went to collect pink flowers, but he needed water.’
