Big Box Build Bonanza!

Happy new year and welcome back to a new term in Learners Class.

We kicked off the new term in a fantastic way.

On Wednesday, families filled Learners class (and so did boxes). We used the book ‘It’s Not a Box’ by Antoinette Portis to inspire us and used our imagination to create something wonderful using many sized boxes and some handy resources. We had the BEST time, we worked together and our creations were sensational! We will be using these creations to inspire our instruction writing in English lessons over the next weeks.

This week we have delighted in creating our final art piece inspired by the painter Wassily Kandinsky. Last term we learnt many new painting skills, such as using different paints, colour mixing, creating texture and making tints. Armed with theses skills, we created our own piece using the Kandinsky style of shape, lines and colour and of course listening to music to guide our artistic persuasion. Our final pieces were wondrous and each Learner was SO proud of their piece. Learners are passionate about art and are extremely excited to immerse themselves in this term’s art topic of printing. Kepp an eye on the website to see how Learners get on!

In PE, we enjoyed a cricket session with Owen Batchelor this week (who has recently been voted Coach of the Year). Learners put 100 percent into everything they do and PE is no exception. Learners were fantastic batters this week and also great team players!

Swimming sessions start again this week for Learners, please male sure a costume and towel are brought on Tuesdays and earrings removed! Thank you for your ongoing support. 

Keep checking Learners website each week, to find out all about their achievements!

Learners love to learn!
