We have had a creative week in Pear Tree Class.
The children have learnt about Pablo Picasso in art and his use of colour to convey happy or sad feelings through his art. The children explored different colours before deciding if they portrayed happiness or sadness. After this, they sketched a portrait of a happy or sad person and coloured the portrait in using their chosen colour palette.
In music we created a piece of music to match an aquarium video. The children used xylophones to represent the fish and triangles, shakers and rain sticks to represent the sound of the water.
In English the children have enjoyed reading 'Traction Man' by Mini Grey and have produced some very high quality pieces of writing, including descriptions of Traction Man and thought bubbles for various characters in the story.
In maths we are starting to learn about multiplication and division. The children have been practising how to make equal groups and how to add equal groups.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
