We are artists

This morning we have immersed ourselves into our art case study as a mini hook! We have found out who the artist is that we will be studying this term- Sir Quentin Blake and we have learnt a lot about him. We’ve even had a go at some Harry Potter style artwork in the style of Sir Quentin Blake. We have used a range of water colour techniques and reflected and discussed which have worked the best and why. It’s been a gorgeous morning and we can’t wait to work on our critiques and finish our final pieces ready to display in our classrooms! Check back on our blog later for the finished pieces!

We are taking a trip to Hogwarts…

Just a reminder that this Friday is our Harry Potter dress up day. We will be swapping our maths and literacy lessons and instead, we will be participating in lessons only wizards and witches engage in- defence against the dark arts, quidditch, potions, behind the magic and transfiguration. The children will each have the opportunity to be sorted into a house by the sorting hat before the day at Hogwarts begins. This is going to be such an exciting day and we can’t wait to capture all of the exciting things we get up to and we will of course share them on our blogs!
I wonder what our guiding question is going to be?

This week in 5W

We have been working super hard this week to create our final product for our Expedition. The children have been working collaboratively all week to create 3 poems that perfectly represent our learning from our 3 Case studies. The results have been amazing and I am so proud of their use of figurative language! Well done 5W!
We have also held a ‘design an egg’ competition for Easter. The deadline for this is Friday and winners will be announced in due course. Have a look at what some of the children created!
