This week we have been looking at a place that is special to us; our home. We chose different materials to stick together, to create a box model of our home, and practised our scissor skills to cut out the windows/door.

The children have been working to create a GFOL landscape piece of art. They used their knowledge of primary and secondary colours to create a fire effect background. They then created silhouette houses to create the houses from Pudding Lane.
F1 really enjoyed their Indian dance workshop this afternoon. Our amazing expert, Lucy, taught us lots about Diwali and helped us learn a beautiful Indian dancing routine. We then got to try on some Indian clothing ready to perform!

This week we have been looking at a place that is special to us; our homes. We went on a walk around the perimeter of the school to look at the different types of houses we could see. We learnt lots of big words such as: semi detached, bungalow, terrace and flats.
When we got back to the classroom we used our creative skills to paint pictures of our own house. There was some beautiful artwork!

Today we have been practising extending ABAB repeating patterns, and learning how to write our names. I am super proud of how hard everyone tried with these tasks today, there really was some beautiful work and pencil control!

We had a lovely time celebrating our family learning yesterday; making lanterns, painting our diva lamps, making play dough diva lamps, cutting/sticking and doing Diwali colouring.

Today we lit the Diva lamps we made and spoke about how this is a special part of Diwali celebrations. 
We used clay and our fine motor skills, to pinch it and manipulate the clay into a diva lamp shape. We then painted our lamps during family learning.

Over the last few weeks, we have been developing our sculpting skills.
We are using different techniques to create a coil pot in the style of a Roman oil lamp. It is taking a lot of patience and resilience – especially with how quickly the clay dries out!
I can’t wait to see how they turn out!

This term, we have been designing kindness badges as part of our expedition: How can I be a hero in my community?
The children looked at different designs for badges and thought about messages they could include on their badges.
