For our first lesson in Art this term we learnt about collaging. We gathered a variety of different materials to collage with and picked a biome to collage. The creating was chaos, but the end product is fantastic.

5th December trip to The Deep

Who is William Morris?

We learned who William Morris is and how his worked was inspired by all things nature. We are planning on creating our own William Morris inspired print – using similarities based on his work, but with an Under Water Theme.

Terrific Tentacles ….

In English we have been working on how to write an Information text – our end goal for our ‘Hot Write’ is to write an information text based on Sharks.
We studied and worked on the success criteria and skills for an information text for a couple of weeks and we then worked in created an information text, in groups, based on ‘The Abyss’ part of the sea.
Here are our group ones – we can’t wait to share our individual ones!

Understanding Life Cycles

Part of our Science has been to understand the difference in a variety of animal life cycles. We worked as groups to research and create a poster of life cycles for the different classifications. We were able to discuss similarities and differences between each one.

Using Water Colour Techniques

In Art we started off the term by focusing on our water colour techniques.

We used learnt how to layer the paint to understand how to create darker tones. We used this technique to create an under the water scene.
