This week we continued our art topic looking at Wassily Kandinsky, we have been using pastels to recreate our versions of his 1913 piece ‘Farbistude Quadrate’  or ‘Circles in squares’.

We have also continued looking at Ancient Egyptians, we learned more about Egypt, using Google Earth to see the pyramids at Giza and looking at some of the clothes Ancient Egyptians wore.  We really like using the Smartboard to look at maps!

Brooke says, ‘They wore lots of jewelry.’

In our Grammar lesson, we learned about a new type of word.  We have learned that verbs are doing words.  Here are some of our verbs:

Erin:  to swim, Matthew: to exercise, Laura: to hop, Morgan: to skate, Carlos: to cook, Kai: to learn, Zoe: to dance, Lucca: to run, Alfie: to cycle, Ryan: to bobsleigh, Keigan: to jog, Lewis: to brush, Sanah: to jump, Isabel: to ride.

We are hoping to learn about what was inside the pyramids, how the Ancient Egyptians traveled, more about the jewelry, how the pyramids were built and how tall the pyramids are.
