This week we have really taken on the mindset that we are all artists. Some of the children have taken some convincing but as the week has progressed the children have been asking to take their sketch books out onto the playground during their breaks. Initially we found drawing a realistic eye quite a challenge but with some gentle and constructive criticism plus a substantial amount of peer support we have all been on a fabulous journey and using pencils, charcoal and chalk have really begun to understand the importance of careful observation. Our sketch books reflect our personal interests and creative journey therefore the children are more than welcome to bring drawings, collages, photos, illustrations and additional sketches into school to be stuck in to their books. However, we do stress that these books are very precious and not just for a quick scribble. They are to be treasured and proud of and we cannot wait to see how our sketching progresses throughout the year.
Science has seen us talking all about the major organs, bones and muscles within our bodies and just how amazing we are. We also enjoyed another wonderful yoga lesson, reinforcing that it is just as important to keep you mind as healthy as your body!
In ICT we have continued to think about how important it is to keep ourselves safe online. This week we have discussed how sometimes we can become upset by something we encounter on the internet. Ask your child what steps they would take if someone or something upsets them whilst they are online gaming. What must they NOT do?
Have a great weekend!
