This week we have had lots of fun in maths measuring length and height. We have used lots of different non-standard units of measure to find the length of height of ourselves and objects around the classroom. On World Book Day we have compared the height and length of characters from out story The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson.
The children were inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian to create a piece of art digitally. They used squares, rectangles, vertical and horizontal lines to create a grid. They then used the fill tool to block out primary colours. The children did an amazing job and reflected on their learning after the lesson ‘ they felt confidence in using different tools to create a piece of art.
Today the children discussed Remembrance Day. We talked about why we wear poppies and that we wear them to remember people who fought in wars in the past.
