Autumn Term 1

This half-term we will spend the first 2 weeks getting to know each other and our new environment and making new friends and relationships. 

                                                     

For the remainder of the half-term our topic is ‘Pottery & Sculptures'. All of our lessons, where possible, will be linked to the topic, and we will be practising different pottery and sculpture techniques. At the end of the topic, each child will produce a piece of artwork and this will be displayed in our school gallery.

Homework will be sent home every week, 1 week will be English and the following week will be Maths.  You will also find the ‘Pottery & Sculpture’ homework grid on the tab on the left-hand side of this page. Please try to complete as many of the activities as you can during this half-term. We would love to see your work!

There is also a copy of our class timetable for this half-term if you click on the 'timetable' tab on the left.

We will share what we have been up to on our class dojo page each day, so please join us there.

Autumn Term 1 summary...

 ‘Pottery & Sculptures'

Well, what a busy term it has been! A particular highlight was making our sculptures and displaying them in our own school art gallery. Allowing our parents/careers to be able to see our own individual work. We also visited the art gallery too.
