Class Three

This week our children made poppy wreaths for Remembrance Day

I gave the children a challenge, to turn muddy water clear by only using equipment they can find in my classroom.

Each team was given a set of beakers, household items and a test tube to collect their filtered water in.

No water was consumed during this experiment.

The results were…

Each group had to create their very own 'Amazing Everyday' installation sculpture using items from around the school.

Collaborating, the children were able to bring their ideas to life!

Inspired by the artists Cai Guo-Qiang, the children used a range of techniques to create their own miniature installation art space. By using tea bag splatter, glitter explosions and a few brush flicks, they were able to create a mood within their box.

This week we investigated how prospectors panned for gold by sieving different size solids to separate the mixture.

A big thank you to Rhythm City Music for coming in today. The children were able to experience a range of percussion instruments and learn to play together in a drum circle. 

The children created their own variables to adapt their algorithms.

Our class have been reading the Beowulf saga and have created ‘Wanted’ posters for Grendel.

Big thank you to our special guest Daniel Thompson for sharing some of his works and leading the children on their own poetic journey.

In DT the class are creating their own playground models, they are beginning to take shape.

The class used lines and shapes to create vector drawings. Very creative designs.
