Topaz had a brilliant afternoon painting their surrealist artwork inspired by Rene Margritte! They used lots of bright colours and enjoyed using crazy ideas!

Opal Class had a fantastic morning learning about their new topic Deserts! We found out that deserts can be hot or cold but they are always dry. We explored where deserts are in the atlases and located them on our own maps in relation to the equator! In Maths, we explored where to find 2D shapes on 3D shapes in the classroom – the children found some shapes in unexpected places.

Opal class had a great (messy) afternoon painting surrealist art inspired by Rene Margritte, based on Through the Magic Mirror (the story we wrote last week)! Lots of weird and wacky creative ideas!

Topaz class loved measuring water in different vessels and reading the numbered scales. It was perfect weather for it!

Crystal class enjoyed experimenting measuring temperature with thermometers as part of our measurement topic in maths. They will also be using scales to measure how heavy things are and jugs to explore capacity.

Last week, Opal class made some fantastic pictures with moving parts. There is one character which goes side to side and a wheel that goes round to reveal different characters in the little box!

This week in English we will be writing instructions to tell other people how to make them.

In Maths, we are learning about measurement and how we measure capacity, length and temperature. We are practising using rulers, measuring jugs and thermometers to read scales.
