Arrays everywhere!

This week in maths we have been exploring arrays to support us with our multiplication and division, it was a little tricky but with some perseverance we finally cracked it! We worked hard to use what we already know to support our learning, our practical resource came in very handy to solve some problems.

Exploring Henri Matisse

This week we have been artists, exploring the collage techniques of a Henri Matisse, a French artist.

Firstly, we had a gallery walk and shared our notices and wonders about his work. We collected ideas and created a giraffe in preparation for our final piece where we will collage different animals to place in Noah’s Ark! We thought carefully about how how we could manipulate materials to create shapes.
