Pirate Fun!

This week we had a great time taking our photograph with an iPad and adding stickers to the image to make ourselves look like a pirate! We used an app called Chatter Pix to do this, which was great fun. Once we were happy with our pirate face, we then recorded our voices speaking like a pirate and made our mouths move to the speech. We loved it!
 

How lucky are we?

Today we were visited by author Naomi Barley! Naomi has written two books, The Zig Zags and The Zork Games. Naomi told us all about the different characters and her inspiration for each of them.  We learned about the different feelings the characters have, and how they all get along together. We then made some little aliens of our own!

We are ready to learn!
We just love our daily movement breaks which help us to be ready for the tasks ahead. Sometimes we enjoy fast and energetic breaks, sometimes we enjoy focusing our concentration on one particular thing and sometimes we enjoy calming, quiet breaks like chair yoga. Ask us about our movement breaks, you may be surprised how much we can tell you!
 

Pop Art

We have studied Pop Art and some of the artwork from famous artists like Andy Warhol.  We know that pop art is bold, bright and eye-catching and that many pop artists used repetition in their work.  We know how to make secondary colours by mixing primary colours together, we know that some colours complement each other through studying a colour wheel and we know that pop artists often chose to create art using everyday objects and portraits of famous people.  We decided to produce an eye-catching class display of yummy donuts in the style of Andy Warhol using repetition and complementary colours.
