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.
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.

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.
The children have been using their design technology skills to create their badges.
They chose the correct materials, added them to the machine and then created their final product badge. We can’t wait to share these with you later in the term.
This week we have been learning about compassion. We have learnt that we are all different and we can all do different things. To celebrate we had a ‘this is me’ paint party which started with us dancing to the song This Is Me, from The Greatest Showman, before doing our colour run. Keep your eyes peeled for a video over the coming weeks.

This week we have been very busy collaging milk bottles to create our own Elmer elephants. We used our motor skills to independently spread the glue onto the bottle, chose which collage pieces to put where and used coloured eye stickers to stick either side of the trunk. We read the Elmer story together and discussed what patterns we could see.

F2M created our ‘Perfectly Crew Meade – This Is Us’ collage – which represents everyone, diversity and our we care Wednesday motto ‘Different Families, One Love’ where we discussed how some people have different family dynamics.
This all links to our compassion character trait for our colour run tomorrow!
