This week we have completed our final pieces in art. We chose a landscape to sketch and used different pencils and techniques to create the effects of light and shadow.

Reception have been ordering numbers from 0-10. We even tried ordering all the way up to 20. We have enjoyed playing what is the missing number and proving which number is missing and why. We have matched amounts to the numerals and made our own representations of amounts up to 10.

We are busy getting ready for the art gallery in Class 4. Here is a sneak preview of some of our work….

This week in geography, we created questionnaires to find out which amenities the residents of Colton village would like to see. We then used our results to create sketch maps of Colton village with new anemities.

We have been enjoying taking part in lots of dinosaur themed play in class one! We have been digging for dinosaur bones, creating dinosaur lands, drawing dinosaurs and creating dinosaur art work!

We have been learning more about the properties or 3D shapes. We created our own models using packaging. We thought about the shape of the packaging that we would need for our construction. We started to describe the properties of the shapes. 

In art today we have been using a variety of different brushes to experiment with different strokes. 
 

In class 4 we are getting ready for the art gallery in June. Here is a sneak peek of our beautiful clay Fairy Houses. 
 

This week we have been experimenting with watercolours. We used a range of techniques to create effects of light and movement in the water.
