Keith Haring Inspired Art

We worked as a team to create our own Keith Haring inspired mural.  We used our water colour painting skills and cartoon art skills to create our hearts and four girls collaboratively arranged the hearts into our mural.

“It was really hard to make, but it was really fun to see it all come together.” Rosa

Science – Dissolving

Last week we carried out an experiment to see which  substances dissolved in water.

“It was fun to see what substances dissolved and do a science investigation.”  Jacob

PE

We have been learning how to pass and stop the ball the hockey as well as shoot at a goal.  We have also been learning about attacking and defending as part of a team.

In Badminton we can now serve over the net and maintain a short rally.

Design Technology

We worked in groups to design an art gallery that meets a design brief inspired by the range of artists we have research over the last four weeks.  We used ‘Make Do’ kits to construct our models.

“It was fun using the ‘Make Do’ kits to make art galleries.  It was exciting because we were making things things with cardboard, but it wasn’t fun when we had to take it apart.”  Ayyoub

Science – Electricity

This week we have investigated how to make a complete circuit to make a light bulb light up.  We then investigated which materials were conductors and insulators within our circuit.  We learnt that water is a very good conductor of electricity and the dangers of water around electricity.

“I enjoyed making circuits and trying something new.” Hamza

 Music

This week in music we were learning how to write stick beats in music.  Mrs Lyall sang a tune and we were able to draw the number of sticks in the rhythm and show the length of the different notes.  We then worked in groups to find rhythm sticks to match Mrs Lyall’s tune.  Once we were confident at this, we split into the red and blue group and played different rhythms to different time signatures using drumsticks.

History of Art

This week we wrote stories about ‘The Sunflowers’ by Vincent van Gogh and created ‘The Daffodils’ by P4c.  We started with a pencil drawing, then used water colours to add in the background colours.  We mixed two primary colours to make complementary colours for our sky.  Next week we will add the finishing touches to our daffodils and stems.  We were proud of our artwork!
