Giant’s Clothing

Last week we were looking at the story of Jack and the Jelly Bean Stalk. We pretended to try on the giant’s clothes. They were a little bit big!

David Hockney clay plaques

Linked with our work on journeys, Beech Class learned about perspective and depicting landscapes going into the distance in art. We studied the artwork of David Hockney. After doing our own paintings and collages in his style, we made clay plaques based on his paintings of Yorkshire landscapes.

Posters and placards linked to Greta Thunberg protests

We listened to Greta Thunberg’s speeches and learned about the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. We researched the impact of climate change on the planet and made our own posters and placards to protest about the need to stop global warming and limit carbon dioxide emissions..

Paintings in the style of Hundertwasser

Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist who was passionate about nature and conservation. Beech Class studied his art and architecture to link with the work we are doing about Greta Thunberg. We painted our own versions of his paintings with oil pastel and watercolour.

Data Collection

During our Maths lesson we collected data about people’s favourite things such as their favourite ice cream flavour and favourite colour. We will use this data to create some block graphs.

Conserving Water

Oak and Chestnut class have been busy this afternoon (16th April) learning about conserving water and why water is so important to our planet. Their challenge was to work as a team to move as much water from one container to another container using only a spoon. The challenge was trying to conserve as much as possible!
