20th to 24th May
This has been our Arts Week at school.
The main activity of the week revolved around the visit of the artist, Paul Priestley, who came and led a day about Pablo Picasso. This included a workshop session on drawing faces. Following an illustrated talk about Picasso's life, he showed us how, in one of his styles, the artist represented the human face. We had a go at producing our own pictures in the style the following day.
In addition to this activity, we also concluded our half-term's art topic on Bodil Manz by painting the clay pots we made last week and, the next day, the children applied the Manz-style designs that they had settled on. We also wrote up our work in our sketchbooks.
Our maths work focused on investigations this week. These included some problem-solving activities and investigations about creating different shapes from two smaller ones and exploring permutations and combinations. We did this in the context of both creating restaurant menus and graphics.
In ICT we created a Welcome Booklet for potential new pupils in our class and used the Arrive Alive booklet to make and answer quiz questions about road safety.
