Making moving pictures, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 26th Nov 2021 @ 4:37pm
This week we have been busy practising our Nativity play, we are looking forward to performing it next week!
We have had a DT week this week where we have enjoyed making moving pictures.We practised first by cutting slits in a picture and making a slider that could go up and down or side to side. Next we designed some pictures for a story book, thinking carefully about which parts would marvel and which way. Then we had to construct it. There were some tricky bits but kept going and have made some great moving picture story books!!
Have a great weekend??
Being artists!, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 19th Nov 2021 @ 5:19pm
This week we have enjoyed exploring different media to find out which one we preferred to use. We were inspired by Kandinsky to use shape in our art work. We had to carefully draw round different shapes and then fill in the colour. We could choose oil pastel, chalks, felt tips, wax crayon, pencil crayons, charcoal or water colours. We loved it and did some amazing art work.Well done Zebras!??
Have a lovely weekend.

This week we have enjoyed finding out about some of our senses, looking and listening. We had a partner , one had to close their eyes and the other to lead them carefully.It felt a bit scary when you closed your eyes! In maths we have been comparing numbers and objects, one more ,one less , which is greater , which is less. We enjoyed watching weather forecasts in Geography and collecting weather words and symbols. More rolling through targets and along a line in PE.
Have a lovely weekend, don’t forget homework on google classroom.If you want to be part of our school parliament or eco team get thinking about why you would be a good choice.We will be voting next week?
