We have been practising some sketching techniques today including cross hatching, feathering and stippling. We had a lovely lesson and I’m really looking forward to some of these techniques being applied to the final sketches.
Today we were able to start Case Study 3, which focuses on art. We have been looking closely at sketching and how we can create different textures to add shading to our drawings. We looked at several different techniques including stippling, hatching and cross-hatching. Ask your children if they can demonstrate and explain what each different technique is!
A big shout out and thank you to everyone for making a great effort for CIN on Friday and for donating to the bun sale!
This afternoon Crew Barnett had their film time reward for achieve the most HOWL points in year 5 and 6 last week. Keep up the great work everyone!
Reminder that there is an Accelerated Reader drop in for KS2 parents on Thursday 17th November 3pm-4pm in the school hall. Please pop along if you want to learn more about AR and how it works.
Last week at science club we used magnets. We started off with a walk around school to see what magnetic objects we could find. Then, we tested the strength of the magnets by seeing how many paperclips we could hold. Finally, we used iron filings to show the magnetic pull.
It was also great to share Leila’s volcano experiment brought from home.
Last week, we used every we had learnt in case study 2 to plan and carry out our own investigations. We then wrote up our experiments for our final touch down.
The children have been working super hard in phonics. Yesterday we learned the /ir/ grapheme. The children put lots of effort into their independent sentence writing. Well done Class 6.
As mentioned, there will be an AR drop in for KS2 parents on Thursday 17th November 3pm – 4pm which will take place in the hall. Please feel free to pop along and find out more about how Accelerated Reader works in school!
