Welcome back everybody.

Even though this week has been a bit shorter than normal we have still been able to fit plenty of things in. Our children have all done a wonderful job working on their maths & English targets. We have also started two new topics this week. The first of which is ‘where does food come from?’ We spent lots of time discussing our favourite foods and where they come from… such as apples being from the U.K & mangoes being from India.

Our second new topic was the artist Antony Gormley, who makes sculptures in the shape of people. We had a look at pictures of various sculptures that he has made as we had a go at making our own people shaped creations. Initially with some card in different shapes, before moving onto using cubes. Charlie D even made a version of the angel of the north using his cubes.

We would like to say a big well done to Charlie D for super work in our new ‘Sculptures’ topic in art. Charlie listened really well in the lesson and could tell us that he liked the Angel of the North sculpture and why. He worked brilliantly during the independent task to create a 2D shape sculpture with a human form. Afterwards, he continued to work on sculpture during choice time, making an amazing Angel of North sculpture using multilink cubes. Well done Charlie!

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you next week.
