Art continues in MI
MI have shown such resilience and determination today during our art sessions. We finally learnt and started to understand that art is a long process and we need to ensure we take our time to ensure we create quality pieces. MI have certainly shown this today. We have used a step by step process to create our Martin Luther King Jr images and children were super proud at the end of the day. We will just add further sketching techniques tomorrow to finish off our creations. We will then move onto looking at Rosa Parks 🙂 Great work MI!
MI start case study 3
Today we started our art case study where we explored and used a range of sketching techniques. First we looked at and used different sketching pencils thinking about tone and how different pencils do this. We then explored tone further by thinking about the pressure we apply to our pencil. After this we looked at 7 different sketching techniques and had a go at practising these. From he we researched the artist Edgar Degas, thinking about the type of artist he is and the different pieces of art he created. The final part of the lesson allowed us to apply all the features we had learnt to a Edgar Degas image. We tried to use some of the techniques we had practised earlier in the lesson.

Becoming little chefs 👩🍳🧑🍳
To build on our knowledge from our previous lesson, where food comes from, today we looked at what makes up a balanced diet and compared this to our diets. We explored different food groups: carbohydrates, protein, vegetables and fruit, dairy and fat. Charlie then came up with an idea that we could source and produce our own lunch. We created our own healthy lunches ready to make 🧑🍳👩🍳 Mr T kindly brought us some passion fruit, papaya and coconut to try 🥥 it was very tasty!
Crew Godley super readers!
This week we’ve had a great week with so many children reading at home to their grown ups and siblings. The children have been so proud in academic crew sharing their reading scores with their peers. Today, those children who read three or four times this week received a ’get smart’ postcard because it shows they are most certainly getting smart when they can apply our phonics to read more fluently. Thomas, our little reading super star read five times, as he does every week! We thought this deserved a celebratory big bar of chocolate!
Crew Godley Reading Cafe
We have loved having parents in again for our reading cafe this week, thank you again for spending the time to come and read with your children! 🥰 We look forward to seeing more parents next Thursday at 2.45 😊
