Watercolour Madness!

We tried a new medium today - watercolour! We used watercolour paints and watercolour pencils. We also got to spray our art to make it run - check out what the colours do in the timelapse at the end of the video.

Caption This!

We created spring paintings using paint and then we wrote captions. Look at our growth mindsets at writing time.

Message To An Artist

We have been looking at change outside our window and using it to inspire us in art. We talked about spring and how it's almost here. Yesterday we created some floral artworks using paint but no brushes! Check them out below.

We also all wrote an email to a local artist Bridget who creates digital prints. Here is a bit of the writing we did:

To Bridget, 

I like your art. It is good. How do you draw so neatly?

Angus

To Bridget, 

I like your picture. Your pictures are cool. How do you do them?

Benjamin

To Bridget, 

I like your art. You must have worked really hard. I would like to send you a message. 

Felix

To Bridget, 

How do you do wonderful drawings? I love wonderful drawings. You must have read my mind. 

Tom

Bridget's reply:

Hi Eve,

Wow that's so cool. Please thank the children for the lovely messages and let them know that this kind of art is done on the computer so I use the computer mouse like its a paint brush!

Thanks again,

Bridget

Quarter Pizza (Caught A Pizza!)

As part of our learning in fractions we embraced our inner chefs and created pizzas. We had to put toppings onto quarters. Miss Eve wondered why there were a lot of mushrooms left over. 😎 it was fun and we wish they were edible. Ask us if we can explain the fraction that we explored today.

Immersed in Fractions

We have been immersed in fractions this week. We have been choosing our own activities to do with fractions and are learning what they look and feel like.

Let's Get Curious About Change

We will be learning all about charge next term. What does change mean? We will be thinking and learning about change in me, change in my family, change in my community and change in my world. Here is some of our great thinking so far.
