Let's look back over Term 2B.
Take a look at our corridoor which showcases our amazing artistic talents. I hope you agree that all pieces of art on display are very unique.
These photos show our work when we studied the work of George Seurat and Josef Albers. We learned about an interesting technique called pointillism which George Seurat was famous for.

The work above was based on our study of the artist Josef Albers. He experimented with the use of colours through squares. This learning linked with our learning in maths at the time which involved 2D Shapes. Take a look at this lovely story below called The Perfect Square. What can you turn a simple square into? How far can your imagination take you?
This video has got no audio read-a-long. Can you try and read this story by yourself? What a fun way to develop reading skills.
Friendship week
Friendship week came along in February. We were very excited to celebrate this week as we are all great friends in 1st class. As a class we discussed how important our friendships are in the class. We are committed to building positive relationships with each other and it is truly heartwarming to see the children develop these relationships with each other each and everyday.
As part of discussion we revised our key words and school values which we celebrate each month at our assemblies. They are: Respect, Inclusive, Fair, Honest, Safe, Empathy and Nurture. We spoke about how essentially they are the qualities of a good friend. Someone who shows you respect, includes you in their games, is fair in sharing and turn taking, tells the truth, makes sure our games are safe for everyone to play and can see things from another persons point of view and not just their own.

As part of our writing in literacy we wrote a friendship pie recipe. Procedural writing was our writing genre last term so this gave us a great opportunity to showcase our talents here. Then we made some friendship pies. Take a look.
Check back in soon for some more Term 2 throwbacks!
