We had a brilliant time in the snow on our first day back after the Christmas break! We got to build some snowmen with our friends. 

In Art this half term, we are working with paints and mixed medias. We have started our learning off by recapping primary and secondary colours and how we can mix them. This week we have been looking at how to make different textures when using paints. We used different materials such as tin foil, cotton buds, cardboard, forks and sponges as well as brus and our fingers.

 

In Art this week, we started to think about how we can create a collage picture. We started by making lots of different texture pieces so that we can use them to tear and rip to create our picture. We loved seeing how the different items made different types of textures.

 

In History this half term, we have been learning about Florence Nightingale and how she helped transform nursing and hospitals as we know them today. This week we have learning about how she was known as the Lady of the lamp because she helped take care of the soldiers during the night. To help us remember we created our own Turkish lamps!

 

In Science this half term, we have been starting to learn about living things and their habitats. We looked at different animals last week and whether they were carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. This week we looked at whether things in our environment are living, non-living or never alive. We worked collaboratively and looked in our school grounds.

 

We made our Christingles with Rev Rich this week ready for our Candlemas service on Tuesday. We have great knowledge about what each part of the Christingle represents!

 

We have celebrated National storytelling week this week and lots of lovely visitors have been into our class to read some fabulous stories with us. We have particularly enjoyed the Rabbit and Bear series!
