Well done to the 4 girls that were rewarded at assembly today for their great work with Mrs Cox. They have been Yoga buddies to the younger children and Mrs Cox says they have been doing a fantastic job.

We have been learning about Scottish artists for topic this week. Our focus has been Steven Brown and children were looking at different pieces of his art and deciding if they like his work or not.  We found that 2/3 rds of the class did like his art.  Next, the children had to vote on their favourite painting out of 4 of Steven Brown’s most popular pieces. Finally, after being inspired by his style we have tried to create our own giraffe painting influenced by Steven Brown.
I am so pleased with the results and the children seemed really proud of their work.

We have created a Steven Brown wall display.

Lots has been going on in our maths groups this week.  Children have been problem solving with budgets and multiplying and dividing with money. We were making our own fraction wall puzzle and getting a friend to fit it together again. Groups are also focusing on division and multiplication tables.

I hope you are all managing to access Google Classroom at home and complete the simple homework challenge. The children have all used it in class and been shown how to get into the site so hopefully there shouldn’t be any problems but please let me know if there is.

Have a great weekend!
