Class Introduction
Albums:
We have been learning about the seven continents of the world and the four countries of the United Kingdom. We have been learning how to use our classroom environment to support our learning. In class we use maps in different subjects.
Amber class have read Come Away from the Water, Shirley by John Burningham. From this adventurous story of a fearless girl, they have created artwork inspired by the pebble beach where the story began. Firstly, the children learnt how to create curved lines by only using their wrists then they learnt how make curved lines longer and shorter by moving their grip on the pencil. They used pencil, biro, crayon and finally water colour. Check out the display outside of our classroom.
