Classes
Salhouse Choir Christmas carols
Salhouse choir sang a beautiful medley of Christmas carols with 2 soloists demonstrating their core value of courage.
Kingfishers Colour Wheel
Kingfishers have been learning about the colour wheel and exploring the impact of combining different colours.
They have learnt about the artist Sonia Delaunay and experimented with creating pieces using circles. Some even had a go at using a compass!
We used paints, pens and pencils and were very pleased with the outcome.
We also read the book ‘A life of colour’
Year 3 Tricky Maths
Year 3 have been challenging themselves this week with some tricky maths; understanding column subtraction and addition. Making it into a game proved that maths is definitely fun!!
Kingfishers Reduce Plastic Usage
Every Wednesday Kingfishers watch the news. One week they were shocked to see the mountains of plastic ready to be recycled. They were even more shocked to hear that this recycling was often transported to other countries.
As a result, they have researched what we can do to REDUCE the amount of plastic we use.
They shared a story book with the whole school along with some videos showing the impact plastic has on Sealife. They spent time creating some persuasive writing encouraging everyone to reduce their plastic usage and ways in which they could do this.
Kingfishers presented their work in a school assembly.
Kingfisher Shadows
Kingfishers have been exploring how shadows are made. They created their own investigations in order to discover what materials will and won’t create a shadow, where the source of light needs to be and how to change the shadow – making it larger and smaller.
