This week, Year 1 children created a piece of abstract art inspired by the works of Kandinsky, Bernal and Bolowtowsky. They did this by drawing around and overlapping a variety of 2D shapes. They used mixed media (pastels, chalks, pencils, watercolours and felt tip pens to colour in the shapes between the lines. Year 2 also created an abstract work of art in a similar way but they used different materials to add texture to theirs.

We are getting really good at understanding what exactly a sentence is. We sorted these strips into two piles, deciding whether they were full sentences or not. It was extra tricky because the punctuation had been left out!

In Maths we have started looking at parts and wholes. We did some super practical work in pairs today.

Today’s Art lesson was called “Making Waves”. We explored expressive lines using music to create large collaborative pieces inspired by water and the artwork of Zaria Forman.

In Science we have been learning about different animal groups and why particular animals fit into each group. We looked at British animals first then looked at animals from around the world and grouped them into mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, insects and amphibians.

In art this week, Year 1 looked at the work of Bridget Riley and how she used different types of lines to create some of her pieces. We explored different lines of our own using chalk on black paper. Year 2 also used lines to create their artwork based on a map.

In science today we used our sense of sight to look carefully at the objects placed in front of us then work out which one had been removed, and we used our sense of touch to identify things hidden from sight in a bag.

We have been exploring our senses in science. We used our hearing to try to work out who was playing the bells behind their back; we used our sense of smell to try to identify different spices; and we used our taste buds when sampling drinks that were sweet, salty, sour and bitter.

In science we investigated whether the width of our arms outstretched was equal to our height and found that it was very close, if not the same. We also investigated to see if the width of our hand spans was equal to the length of our feet. We found that this was mostly true.

We had a lovely time choosing books to take home from our library.

In Science, our topic is the human body. Today we did some investigations. We wanted to see if the oldest child in the class is the tallest child in the class. We also wanted to find out if the youngest child has the smallest feet. Then we investigated whether the tallest child has the biggest feet.

Matching the number with the correct amount by counting very carefully.
