In line with our current art topic ‘Flower Head’, we decided to make blossom tree themed Mother’s Day cards. We created the different shades of pink by mixing red and white together and used our fingers to create the blossom effect. What do you think of our cards?

We had a busy week with lots of fun learning. In maths, we compared capacity and volume using rice to check our predictions. In art, we explored shape, form and texture using flowers, clay and play dough. On Comic Relief Day, we enjoyed more fun practical activities!
This week, we have been looking at how to measure mass in maths. We have learnt that mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg). Here, we are comparing the mass of different classroom objects using balancing scales.
Maths: This week we learned about length and height. We practised measuring in centimetres and estimated how tall or short objects might be. We compared and ordered different objects to see which ones were the shortest or the longest. Writing: To celebrate World Book Day, we started writing our own adventure story about Mabel who didn’t like books. We also
This week we have explored our art topic ‘Still Life’ further. We sketched object from different angles, then made our own still life sculptures using clay and special tools to add some texture.
In maths this week we have been learning how to calculate change. We set up our own shop and worked in partners (one being the customer and the other being the shopkeeper), and calculated change from £1.
In Maths this week, we learned about the different coins and notes we use. We practised adding different types of coins and notes together to see how much money each teacher had.
We mixed primary colours to make secondary colours. We then used the paints to complete different composition templates. Here is how they turned out!
This week we have investigated 2-D and 3-D shapes and learned about their properties. We had fun using our new knowledge of sides and vertices, making 2-D shapes from play dough and paper straws. Some of our shapes were regular, some were irregular polygons. We even made octagons!
