As artists, Class LH created a collaborative piece of work using water colours to capture the sense of feeling in the clouds and the water. We have been learning about using different techniques and this project allowed us to explore this further. We found out information about Claude Monet as an impressionist artist and looked at different pictures he had painted in his lifetime. We also talked about the style of impressionist artists.
As thinkers, we discussed the picture Red Boats, Argenteuil painted
in 1875 and how it captures a sense of calm and as writers, we wrote descriptive extracts about this picture including some noun phrases such as "calm water", "boats bobbing around" and "gentle puffy clouds"
We have continued the “Land Ahoy!” theme and pursued some
creativity using observational drawing of boats using pencils and
charcoal. As artists, we understood that
each angle would be different and no two pictures were the same. We hope you are impressed by their finished pictures (see below). Thank you to Mrs Lucas for sharing her skills
and knowledge to create both of these.
As writers, we wrote an acrostic poem using the world “RESCUE”
following on from the visit by the RNLI.
It was a very interesting talk and we gathered a lot of ideas to use in
our poems. We have also been persevering
with our hand writing and using the cursive style to join letters.
As Geographers, we have been finding out about the oceans around
the world; the equator and northern and southern hemisphere and recapping the continents.
As mathematicians, we found out about Rene Descartes during Maths week and discovered that he was instrumental in establishing coordinates. We used coordinates to plot various items in and around the pirate island.
