Bonfire night and Jackson Pollock - Week 1

This week we have focused on our key artist Jackson Pollock who achieved his great pieces of art work through the medium of splatter painting. 

The children found out some key facts about him and then they became Jackson Pollock creating their own large scale splatter artwork. 

In Maths this week we have been learning all about number 1. 

We have also celebrated bonfire night, creating art work around it and exploring colours. The children enjoyed sharing their ideas around what they know about fireworks.

Week 2 - Remembrance Day and Bear Hunt

We began the week by thinking about poppy day and it's importance. We watched a clip, learned some key facts and then used out observational drawing skills to create our own poppies. 

Something very exciting happened in our classroom, we came to school to discover giant footprints in our classroom, we investigated and shared our ideas around what had visited us. We then made posters to let others in school know that we had had a   visitor. 

We will be keeping an eye out to see if we can help our vistor over the coming weeks. 

In maths this week we have been learning about number 2, we sailed to number 2 island and discovered things that came in pairs. 

We will continue to explore 2 next week. 

This week we have also been discovering what is inside a pumpkin, opening the ones we had in the classroom and using a range of tools to dig them out and explore. 

Week 3 - Bear Hunt continues....
