Welcome to our class
Art week: Drawing
The children in Avon class have been busy working on their drawing skills. They have explored a range of different drawing materials and have experimented with different ways of making marks including shading and exploring tone. We focused on the artist, Monica Lee, who is a famous for creating incredible portraits. This linked perfectly to our new topic, 'Movers and Shakers'! As our final piece we designed and drew our own journal covers. It has been a great start to their Art journey in Avon!
Outdoor Learning
Avon class have been exploring the outdoor space and thinking about Autumn and the changes that we can see and the vocabulary we can use to describe these changes. We have also been using our imagination to create shelters for pocket creatures (an imaginary creature) we made links to our English lessons and used our adjective knowledge to describe our creatures. Avon used their mathematical thinking to create their shelters, thinking about the shape and the size of their shelters, as well as what makes a shelter. We practically measured sticks to find different lengths and compared them to our arms to see which were shorter then or longer than our arms. Next, we joined together practicing our collaboration skills and teamwork to create pocket creature villages, children created shops, swimming pools, cinema and football pitches in their villages alongside the shelters for each of their pocket creatures.
The Disgusting Sandwich
This week Avon had a rather "disgusting" surprise! Someone had left a revolting sandwich in their classroom! We spent the lesson making predictions and recording these in our journals. This term we are exploring the new text "The Disgusting Sandwich" and we are really looking forward to becoming authors and illustrators. We still don't know who left this unpleasant surprise- some think it was Mr Costello, and others have blamed Mrs Gardner. I suppose we will never know...
