Awesome Stephen Wiltshire

This week we have been looking really carefully at Stephen Wiltshire's art. We have tried to draw different buildings in Redbourn using our sketching and mark making skills. We had to look closely at the picture we had. First we sketched the outline, thinking about the shape of the building. Then we drew in other shapes we could see and added detail at the end. You will be able to see some of our pictures on the website next week.


In science we were learning about 3 inventors who helped to discover some important materials. John Dunlop discovered that tyres worked better if they had air in them, John McAdam made roads better. They were all muddy and the roads got soggy - he discovered if you put big stones on the road and then small stones on the road, and finally put gravel on the road would be smoother. Charles MacIntosh discovered how to make materials waterproof.


Our Home Learning this week is to research a different inventor. What did they invent and why is it important today?


Verb of the week this week is 'To help.'


In maths, we have been adding and subtracting numbers using an empty number line. Today, we used those skills to play a dart board game where we had to add numbers. Can you show your grown up how to add or subtract on an empty number line?


We have Forest Schools next week, so need our wellies and warm coat, scarf hat and gloves for Thursday.


The star award this week is for trying hard to reach your goal. Olivia always tries her best and listens to feedback, which helps her to reach her goals. Well done, Olivia!


Our Learning Owl this week is someone who is really good at taking responsibility for her own learning. She listened to what she needed to do to move on to the next reading level and followed this feedback. Well done Holly. Have fun with Night!
