Painting, Jumping and World Book Day for Glow Worms

This week, the children became expert painters. As part of out art topic, the children learned how to use the powder paints and then they explored what the primary colours are and mixed them to find what colours could be made. Then, they looked at how Georgia O'Keeffe used her observational skills to create her artwork. The children used a view finder to recreate parts of her art. Finally, the children investigated how different paint brushes have different thickness. We used this knowledge and our painting and observational skills to draw and paint our own flowers. They turned out amazing!

In maths, the children put the numbers to 50 on a number line. We used chalk to make number lines on the playground before finding missing numbers. Next, we estimated where numbers could be and identified one more and one less using manipulatives and pictures.

We continued our PE lesson on jumping with recognising how to jump and land safely from a low height. They did a great job at challenging themselves with different types of jumps.

On Thursday, the children (and you adults) made an amazing effort with the World Book day outfits! Thank you for the great enthusiasm.
