After reading our third chapter of the watchers, we decided to create action shots of this dramatic part of the book. Rather than drawing them or writing them down, we created three main pictures in our head ready perform to our group.
Artist- Dorothea Tanning
To explore form and surreal sculpture
We explored a new artist today for creativity hour. Our challenge was to create an everyday object which has human or animal type features. We used newspapers to do this today but lots of materials could be used for this activity. Lots of superb ideas and fun!
This week we are working on lots of place value experiences through written tasks, interactive games and Lego challenge activities. We also continued our building, thinking classroom lesson today where there was lots of great mathematical discourse and everyone was working collaboratively.
PE highlights from last week.
Today we had our annual beach day trip at Aberdour! The children’s faces lit up as we reached the beach and felt the sand on their skin, it was amazing to see. Lots of learning and outdoor coastal play where the children explored nature, paddled in the sea, looked out for marine wildlife in rock pools and built sand structures and sand art with shells and stones. Everyone had the best day through hands on exploration and lots of fun memories were made with our friends.

Today we completed our recognition chart ready for the new term. Everyone has had a super few days back in school, so instead of hot chocolate rewards, we celebrated this with a Fab ice lolly!
Today we started to think about our new class charter, learning why children have rights and what the UNCRC is. We had a super discussion led by the upper school group, explaining rights and why the UN created these children’s rights. We finished by writing or drawing our ideas on a post it about what rights we know and thinking about one thing children around the world shouldn’t have to face.
