Punctuation!
Today we have included capital letters, fingers spaces and full stops to compose sentences for our class text ‘The Enormous Turnip’. Some children edited incorrect sentences that address common misconceptions and mistakes. We also had groups of children that listened to verbal sentences from a…
Colourful watercolours!
We have focused on the artist Paul Klee and learnt how his art was inspired by his travels to Tunisia in Africa. He enjoyed the bright bold colours and shapes all around him and used this within his work. We used one of his pieces as our inspiration and imitated his work using bold colours and…
Exploring Our Sense of Touch to Describe Textures
Exploring Textures!
We used our sense of touch to feel and describe different textures. We have been learning lots of new vocabulary around materials and it was great to hear the children using these. Based on how it felt we had to guess our resources
Book Talk
