Literacy
Maths
Art
We had a live workshop with artist and author Emma Carlisle who wrote, 'What do you see when you look at a tree?' We created some fabulous paintings and learned how to make brown and green by mixing primary colours. We closely followed instructions to create the shapes of the trunk and the branches.
RE
We learned about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, the festival of lights. We learned about the Menorah which holds the candles that are lit on the evening of each night and the Jewish special place called a synagogue. We made dreidels which are small spinning toys that children play with at Hanukkah.
Coming Next
Next half term our key text will be Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers and we will be looking at the Arctic and Antarctic regions and the animals that live there. Our subject driver is History and we will be exploring our own timelines and when our teachers were young. In maths we will be revisiting odd and even numbers but looking at these beyond ten and sharing amounts into equal quantities.
We would like to thank all parents and carers for their support over the Autumn Term and look forward to working in partnership with you in the New Year. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
