This week, we continued exploring the connection between art and music! The children experimented with adding colour to their creations, bringing their artwork to life and exploring how colour can reflect the sounds, rhythms and emotions they hear. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity develop as they bring music to life through art!

Birch class has been practicing how to add 3 1-digit numbers by using ten frames and part whole models.

We have also been investigating number using place value charts.

In art we have been exploring the use of charcoal, so far we have created cave paintings and we have explored still life art.

In Science we have been learning about forces and magnets. We conducted an experiment, where we were trying to work out the force it took to move an object over surfaces with different amounts of friction. We found out the smoother the surface, the less friction and the easier it was to pull the object.

We also investigated how much force it took to lift different objects.
