We have been using click and drag to change the size and position of shapes. By choosing our background colour and changing the colour and size of our shapes, we created artwork in the style of Wassily Kandinsky.
Emerald Class Activities
Still Life
This week we used our knowledge of mark making and observation to create a sketch of flowers in a pot. We used lines to show the texture of out objects to make them come to life.
Making Waves
Listening to water themed music, Emerald Class used their knowledge of different lines to create an underwater scene. We all had an area of paper to work on, connecting it to each other’s lines to make one big water picture.
Lines
Using chalk, black card and string, Emerald Class investigated different lines. We experimented with cross-hatch, diagonal, horizontal, vertical and wavy lines. They, we placed out work together to create big, line drawing collages.
Let’s Celebrate!
The whole school celebrated all the wonderful achievements over the last four weeks in school. Pupils recieved certificates for English and Maths work and for following our values. We also gave out our ‘Soar on Wings’ trophy to those that had ‘Soared’!
It was lovely to celebrate all the achievements of pupils out of school too.
Soar on Wings
We take inspiration from Isaiah 40:31, “They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not be faint.” to ‘Soar on Wings’ in our school. We all worked together in our circle groups to think about what this means for us. We presented our thoughts in lots of different ways. Can you ‘Soar on Wings’?
Summer Reading Challenge
A librarian for Great Yarmouth Library visited us to present the pupils who had completed the Summer Reading       Challenge with their medal and certificate. An amazing 28 pupils completed the challenge! We are so proud of them.
World Book Day
Everyone in school celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as a character from a book and sharing that book with their House group. They also wrote a book review recommending why others should read the book.
Investigating Algorithms
By breaking down a story into individual elements and rearranging them , the Reception children have learned the importance of following a sequence. They have used this computational thinking process to understand the order of stories and rhymes.
