Today we celebrated panckae day. We read lots of pancake stories, talked about what our favourite toppings are, wrote lists of ingredients of how to make pancakes and then tasted some! They were delicious.
In art our final piece has been based on the work by Louise Bourgeois and her spider sculpture in Bilbao. To create our own sculpture we used all of the rolling and folding techniques we had learnt in the last few sesions to make the body and legs. Its pretty impressive!
This week things got tricky when we looked at 'ch' sounding as 'c' in words. We had some fun spelling such long words and came up with some fantastic sentences too.
In Chestnut class we have been practicing writing lots of differnet words with all of the digraphs and trigraphs we have learnt so far.
Our art project has progressed and i just had to show you the amazing creations we have made by rolling and folding different lengths of paper. Some of us went with a swirly style and some of us really liked the square and zig zag style of folding. Some of us even decided our paper sculptures looked like playgrounds. Lots of creativity in Chestnut class!
We have began our topic on 3D sculptures. We focused on an artist called Samantha Stephenson who created metal cylindrical sculptures on Bondi Beach. We learnt how to make cyclindircal tubes and change them via cutting into the sculpture or the thiness and thickness of the cylinder.
In science this week we have been looking at our new topic about materials. We explored a range of different materials, the snow and ice giving us a great outdoor opportunity too! Then we neamed the materials and described them using adjectives.
