Amazing Art

Art, Maths, PE

This week in Puffins the children have looked at the very famous artist Vincent Van Gogh.

During this weeks art lessons the children were given the challenge to draw their self portraits. They also coloured in the picture ‘Starry Night’ using pencil crayons to show different shades and tones and completed the picture ‘Sunflowers’ using oil pastels and water colours.

In maths Puffins have been using Part Part Whole models to partition amounts.

During P.E this week the Puffins have learnt how to do a forward roll! They practised each movement then put them all together in a sequence. Well done puffins!!

The children have also really enjoyed their golden time this week!!!

Drama

English

This week in English the children have been writing speech for characters from the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. As an anchor task, the children were put into groups to think of ideas about what the characters might say. They were given puppets as props to help initiate conversation.
