Term 1
Our mission question is: How are we connected to the rest of the world?
Art- Colour Mixing
In art this term we are exploring self-portraits through the work of Frida Kahlo. This week we were exploring colour mixing to see how many different shades of green we could create. We will be using these skills to create backgrounds for our own self-portraits at the end of term!
The Boy at the Back of the Class
We have been reading the Boy at the Back of the Class this term. We loved the chapter 'An Unexpected Adventure' when the main character goes in search of a pomegranate and tries one for the first time. Lots of us had never had pomegranate before so we tried some too!
Buddy Reading
Year 6 have had great fun getting to know their new buddies and sharing a story with them. Thank you Hazel Class for listening so well!
Lifeskills Workshop
This week we had a visit from Lifeskills. Our workshop was all about making decisions and what sort of decisions we will get to make as we get older. We also discussed scenarios involving peer pressure and how best to deal with it.
