When we are in the zones throughout the day, we are constantly putting our learning into effect.

Yesterday, Evie showed off her learning in maths to create “workbooks” for the boys and girls in her group to practice their calculations.

Maya at home created her own characters from Georges Marvelous Medicine and brought them in to share with the class. During time in the open area yesterday, she added to her work at home and created George to go alongside Grandma!

Yesterday afternoon we created our own characters from Georges Marvelous Medicine. We choose to create either George or Grandma and used a range of colours and paper folding to make the characters even more eye catching.

Olive then came up with the excellent idea of making the characters into puppets and create our own puppet show to show off the drama skills which we have been learning with Miss Cairnie.

Watch this space for the puppet show……

This morning the P2’s were learning about right angles and what shapes have right angles in them. After we did our learning, we decided to go on a right angle hunt around the classroom. We quickly realised that right angles are every where in the environment.

Over the last 2 days, we have been learning about Quentin Blake who is the illustrator for George’s Marvelous Medicine.  We were learning about the style of drawing he does and how he creates his characters.

We then had a go at using art pencils to draw our own self portraits in a similar style to Quentin Blake. The results were amazing!

Today we learnt how to use water colours to mimic the colours that Quentin Blake uses in his illustrations. We learnt that you need to make your paint very watery before you start and you can spread it out on your picture by just adding more water to your page.

Have a look at the finished results at meet the teacher tomorrow night!

This morning the boys and girls in the sphere’s were measuring and converting meters and centimeters into just cm.
