Valentines

We made some beautiful, colourful cards for Valentine's day. But can you guess who made them?

Wonderful Weaving...

We learned how to weave using simple looms made out of lollipop sticks. We even made some pompoms to go with them.

Brilliant Baubles

For Christmas, we made some 'brilliant baubles'. We explored the colour wheel and learned about analogous colours. These are colours that are beside each other on the colour wheel, and blend really well. We each picked some analogous colours and painted our baubles using water colours. We think they look really well on black paper.

Plant Investigation

In Science, our class had a look at what plants need to grow. We set up an investigation with violet plants. Plant A was the control – with sunlight and water. Plant B had sunlight but no water. Plant C was covered over to have no sunlight, but had water and plant D had neither sunlight or water. We put the plants in a sunny spot in the classroom on the window sill and left them for several weeks. We soon discovered that the plants need both sunlight and water to grow successfully. We recorded our investigations in our individual investigation booklets.

The Stone Age..

Earlier in the year the class had been looking at The Stone Age in History. We looked at what life was like for people back in the Stone Age. We looked at what they ate, how they lived and what their houses were like. We even had a go at making some Stone Age houses ourselves!

Spooky Still life

We created out own spooky still life of a pumpkin for Halloween. We used oil pastels on black paper. We observed the pumpkin we were drawing and talked about the different colours and tones we could see.

Autumn silhouettes We explored silhouettes based on the theme of Autumn. Firstly, we thought about the colours that come to mind when we think of autumn – oranges, reds and yellows. We used crepe paper, plastic and black card to create our pieces and hung them in the window when we were finished. We really liked how the sun shines through the crepe paper, like a sunny autumn day.
