This week Reception have been looking at the work of French artist, Matisse. As we are also learning about snails this week, we paid particular attention to his piece, The Snail. The children have created their own versions of the snail using cut out shapes and we think they are fantastic!
The children had a fantastic day in the outdoors experiencing how Stone Age men and women lived. We dressed like them, made shelters like them, learnt about the animals and made tools. So much fun learning!
Year One have been continuing to learn about Henri Rousseau. They have drawn from observation – focussing on what they can actually see rather than what they think they can see! We will be creating background washes, animals and then foregrounds to help hide them as our final pieces! 🖼️

As we transition further through our learning, we will be using our communication skills as a team to overcome a series of challenges. Here is the children completing a task of arranging themselves in order […]
Year One have been finding and working with groups in Maths. They began by counting in tens and seeing how this made addition much quicker! They then had to work out whether or not groups were equal – and if they weren’t, make them equal by adding or subtracting until the groups had the same […]
