In art P2/3 have been learning about shape and combining materials to create these winter robins. We first looked at shape and how we combine them to create an image of a robin and add a background.
We then learned to control chalks to colour the background and used crayons to colour the robin before adding some glitter.
We all found out that pens do not work very well on top of chalk!!
Exciting Equipment Updates For Week 5!
We made some changes to our PE setup to keep things fresh and fun for everyone. Here’s what’s new:
In our last music lesson the class learned a song for Remembrance Day called ‘Wear A Poppy’. Below is a video of the children performing the song with different actions for each verse. What a great achievement for one lesson!
We recently learned a song all about fireworks and Bonfire Night. After we had learned the words and the melody, we also learned how to follow a graphic score. This showed us pictures of percussion instruments to play and when to play them. We worked in small groups to play our instruments and then we had the chance to move round different music stations. In the video you can hear us singing the song and playing four different pieces of percussion – boomwhackers, tambourines, maracas and claves.
Rolls, Handstands and Cartwheels
This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.
Mat Skills Focus:
Apparatus Focus:
This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.
Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.
