Thank you to Jack who was our photographer this week.
In French we have been continuing to consolidate our knowledge of the months of the year and days of the week. The children completed a matching puzzle in teams.
In Art/Mearns Masters we have continued our work on sculpture by learning about Anish Kapoor. We were inspired by her reflective foil art and used what we had learned to make some of our own.
Another busy week in P3.9!
We visited the Makerspace to continue our unit of work on sculpture artists. We can’t wait to share the work we have been doing with you! The focus this week was the Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. The children were very interested to learn more about her story as an artist and use what they had seen and heard to inspire their own work. Sculpting can help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in children, and I have seen a huge improvement in their skills over the weeks.
In numeracy, the children have been learning about multiplication and exploring various multiplication tables through activities and games.
In writing, we have examined direct speech and are beginning to use it in our own texts.
In reading the children learned more about inference. Inference involves using what you know and what you have learned from the text to make educated guesses. The information will not be explicit in the text.
