Landscapes

Today we have been learning about landscape art with Mr Arnold. We looked at lots of different types of landscape art work and talked about the things a piece of landscape art may or may not have in it. We worked out that a landscape must have some kind of land form in it, for example hills, mountains, cliffs and lakes, but they could also include things like houses, trees, people and animals so long as the main focus for the art work is the land. We are really looking forward to working on our own landscape artwork.

Stars on Stage

Wow! Stars on Stage last night was amazing, we really enjoyed watching all the schools perform but we were most excited when it was our turn on stage. All of the children gave a brilliant performance but today we are so tired from all of the excitement!

Yesterday, in maths we learnt about 3D shapes. We had to make a lot of tricky cubes, pyramids and prisms with playdough and toothpicks. It was a lot of fun but quite tricky to get the shapes to stand up! When we had made each shape we had to count the edges, and corners of each shape. Probably the trickiest shape to make was a pentagonal prism, which has 10 corners and 15 edges.

Volcanic Eruptions

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about the different layers of the earth. We learnt that the middle of the earth is molten (melted) rock called Magma. We wanted to know how a volcano erupts and how this can change the landscape. We made our own volcanic eruption to show how the lava flow changes the landscape as it hardens.
