The Blue Coat - 27.1.17
This week we have learnt a new Jewish traditional tale called The Blue Coat. The theme of this story is to make something new out of something old and we linked this theme to our learning owl skill - persevering. We then created our own versions of the story. Erin called her story 'The Patterned Dog Jumper' and Benjamin chose 'The Green Scarf. We tried to include story language and repeated phrases within our story.
We have been practising our addition skills in maths. We learnt that the equals sign means 'the same as' and have used this knowledge to solve missing number problems. Keep practising this at home.
In Dance, we have been continuing to learn a routine to the song 'Singing in the rain'. This week we practised moving to the beat and counting our steps.

William Morris - 20.1.17
Our Artist of the term is called William Morris. Lots of us found out facts through our Home Learning this week as well as in Topic.
"William Morris lived in the Victorian times" - Theo
"He loved the outdoors and used it as inspiration for his wallpaper" - Beth
"He likes to draw flowers" - Delilah
We have used William Morris' work as inspiration for our art this week. We have learnt different pencil techniques (hatching, contour hatching and cross hatching) and experimented using them when sketching flowers. We have created our own wallpaper using floral patterns. We mixed different shades of earthy colours to use on our wallpaper.
In Maths, we have been learning time. We have been learning O'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour and we have practised counting in 5s around the clock to tell the time.
In English we have been learning a new Jewish traditional tale called 'The blue coat'. We have been looking for story language and repeated phrases within the text.
We have begun tennis in games and practised keeping the ball controlled this week.
Tina has taken home Night for her 'can do' attitude towards her work. Well done to Delilah for becoming Star of the week for working well as a team during Gym.
