Easter Fun

In the lead up to Easter we have taken part in a number of Easter activities including literacy and maths challenges. Our favourite was the Easter egg challenge.  We enjoyed using paint, tissue paper, cardboard and other materials to design hard boiled eggs for our egg competition. It was much tricker to do than it seems. Miss Aslam struggled to pick a winner for the competition as everyone’s eggs were designed so creatively. As a class we voted on the best egg. Well done to Millie, our runner up, who designed an adorable Minnie Mouse egg and Emily, who came first place with her angel egg. Happy Easter everyone!

Animal Family Poems

In writing we have been learning to use similes to make comparisons. We wrote animal family poems to compare our family members to animals. Once we redrafted our poems we researched images of different animal patterns and created a background for our writing, full of differen animal patterns. Have a look at our animal themed display below.

Halloween Art

We hope everyone had a fun and spooky Halloween! We certainly did in class where we used oil pastels to create a skull themed peice of art work. We drew around a template of a skull and then added some bones and a body. Next we drew accessories and further detail to our skull to make it come to life. Check out our art work below.

Quadrilateral Shapes

In maths we have been learning to identify quadrilaterals. We created quadrilateral mobiles which included information about the shapes properties such as sides, angles, lengths and lines of symmetry. We then designed the plates and displayed these to hang from our class whiteboard.

Remembrance Day

On open afternoon we created poppy silhouette pictures. This involved lots of cutting and sticking of poppies and the soldier silhouette. Here is a picture of the final result and our Remembrance Day display. Thank you to everyone who came along to our open afternoon and helped us cut and stick!
