Year 2 Hapa Zome

 This week in year 2 we continued our investigation into plants and how they grow. We experimented with the Japanese art of hapa zome- printing with plants. 

We found that this only works when plants are freshly cut, as without moisture, the plants will not press through to the fabric when pressure is applied.

Year 6 - Look at how our art really POPs

 Year 6 has been looking at pop art. This is an idea that uses primary colours, strong black outlines and comic book style imagery.  A particular artist we have studied is Roy Lichtenstien. He was American and he started developing the use of onomatopoeias with bold colours as pieces of art. We have completed some of our own work using the same technique. What do you think?

4 Ennis English

 This week in English we have continued to read Pugs of the Frozen North. The adventure has taken Shen and Sika on a race to the North Pole with all 66 Pugs. On their journey they encounter the Kraken. The children listened to the description of him and drew what they thought he looked like. 

Nursery Phonics - Rhyming Words

 As part of our phonics, and to build a foundation of rhyme, children looked at some rhyming words.

We used our Rhyming Tubs to learn about words for different objects, that sound the same e.g. cat and hat.

In class, we have been reading Room on the Broom and after looking at the rhyming tubs, children were set a challenge by the witch. They worked together to match the rhyming word cards and we read the cards together.
