We came to school in our pyjamas and drank hot chocolate as part of English lessons this week.  We read extracts from ‘The Polar Express’ and watched sections of the film to inspire us with our setting descriptions.  We look forward to sharing these with you soon!

We have been learning about the importance of relaxation and mindfulness.  We practised some yoga moves to help us to relax and clear our minds.

We have been looking at the artwork on Henry Matisse.  We have also been learning the names of shapes and how to describe them in French.  We then made pictures of our own by asking our partners f0r shapes (in French of course!).

We made models to explore how our muscles work.

We have enjoyed looking at how to sketch using different types of pencil.  This allowed us to explore shade and tone.  For our artist study, we looked at some of the work of Leonardo da Vinci.

The children worked hard to explore ways to make everyone feel included and valued.  We embraced our differences and qualities that make us unique; explored working in a team, and learned how to be an empathetic friend.
