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.
Beech Class ran a mile to raise money for St. John’s Hospice wearing their fetching antlers! It’s not too late to send in a donation if you would like to contribute to our fundraising for the Hospice.
During the term, Sycamore and Beech Class have been learning to code using Scratch. Below is a link for a guide to help students and parents learn how to code over the coming festive break.
Details:
Scratch – First Steps combines colourful graphics with clear step by step instructions and is designed to get young people up and running with coding. It’s good for complete beginners as well as anyone who needs a refresher on the basics. The Guide is free to download and use anywhere, anytime you like, so just go to https://stemforstarters.com/first_steps and start coding!
The Scratch programming language is fun and easy to use but also surprisingly powerful. It’s free, runs on most kinds of computer and supports the KS2 computing curriculum.
