Can you look again at the 3 pieces of art discussed in class? Google The Sled by Joseph Beuys, Rocky Mountains and Tired Indians by David Hockney and An Eye on the Street by David Peat.

Can you guess what the picture is trying to represent? Can you find out any info about the artist?

Hope you all enjoyed the lesson today on what it takes to be an astronaut. Here are a few links for you to look at. They may be useful for the surprise task and you may wish to take additional notes on them.

Today we read our stories to P2. I think they all enjoyed it judging by their reaction in the playground.

Right now we are currently  reading a book called Kensuke’s Kingdom.

The story starts of with a boy called Michael who lives with his Mum,Dad and dog Stella.After school he either goes to football training with his best friend Eddie or does paper rounds.The family loved to go dingie sailing.His mum and dad both worked for a the same company until disaster struck…They both lost there jobs and the only person that had money was Michael who earned money from his paper rounds.Later on i the story Michael’s dad leaves Michael and his mum.After a few weeks Michael’s Dad phones saying hes found a place and wants us to meet someone.Michael,His Mum and Stella travel to go see his dad.Everyone was shocked especially his Mum when his dad not only bought something without asking but bought a BOAT and called it The Peggy Sue.They all deside that they will travel the world and teach Michael on the way.After another few weeks on sea it was a gloomy,dark,stormy night when a thunderous storm came..Stella was being annoying to Michael when suddenly…If you want to finish this off please feel free to and if you do i will ask Miss Maxwell to give a reward to the person.[Please if you are part of my e-portfolio comment on my posts]
