Christmas artwork

5th December 2023A Welburn

Today in Crew MW, we started our Christmas artwork! The skill we are focussing on is colour mixing..We had lots of fun using our hands to print into one colour, our partner then printed in the second colour and then we mixed our hands together to see what colour the mixed colours made. We found out that blue and red make purple, yellow and red makes orange, and blue and yellow makes green! 🎨

Polar Express

Yesterday, we started to look at our next writing unit. We thought it only fitting to do some Christmas writing as that will be a lovely way to end the term off.

We are using a short scene from The Polar Express and writing a narrative. We started by sequencing the events in the video and generating some vocabulary that could help us.

My shirt’s on a boat for a sail for a goat..

In today’s experience lesson we each made our own tin foil boat to see if it floated on water. We balanced coins in the boat to make it even harder. After that, we chotted all of our ideas to think about what actions George did, what he could see and then how he might of felt after giving his shirt to the goat to use as a sail on his boat.

We love singing the song for each plot point.

Music – Crew Hamill, Crew Shields and Crew Thompson 🎶 ✨ 🎄 🎅🏼

This morning we have been perfecting our Christmas performance songs. We have been looking at making sure we are singing in time to the beat, adding in body percussion where needed, and getting the lyrics absolutely spot on! It is sounding really beautiful – we just need to keep practising our lines at home so that the whole performance really comes together ready for next week!

We finished off by continuing to learn how to play the recorder. We applied our knowledge of the notes B and A and put them into a short piece of music. We clapped out the rhythm before adding the instruments. Great work! 🎵

Art continues in MI

Today we continued our art slice by consolidating our sketching techniques. We experimented with different pencils and tone then practised some different sketching techniques like hatching and cross hatching. We then applied the techniques we had practised to a drawing. This drawing was a Christmas tree and one we will be using in our final piece for our calendar.
