In Art, we have been looking at colour. We have explored primary, secondary and tertiary colours. Last week, we made collages with warm and cool colours and today, we looked at contrasting colours on the colour wheel. The children then created monsters using two opposite colours such as yellow and purple.

To conclude our topic on Rocks and Soils, we collected three soil samples from different places. We mixed them with water and waited as they settled. We looked at the different layers.

In Art, we have been exploring colour and last week we reviewed what secondary colours were, which the children would have learnt in Year 2. Yesterday, we were learning about tertiary colours, which are created from primary colours being mixed with secondary colours.

This afternoon, we were using different media in sketchbooks using Stonehenge as our inspiration.
We explored using pastel, chalk, charcoal, pencils, paint and pen. They seemed to really enjoy this task

This afternoon, in Science, we were testing the permeability, hardness and durability of metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks. We will be looking at the results more closely next week but found some interesting results for sedimentary rocks.

in Art and History, we have been learning about Stone Age cave art and what it can reveal to us about that period in history. The children had a go at creating their own.

Today, we were using drama to act out a scene from The Twits. We are hoping it will help the children with incorporating speech in their writing next week.

Today in History we were discussing the Stone Age. We talked about how far back in history it goes and how it would be impossible to show on a timeline so we tried to demonstrate it with a really long toilet roll. Most of the history we learn about at school would fit on the first two sheets of paper and the Stone Age would be right at the other end of the roll. We also asked questions about objects found from that period.
