Choosing and arranging materials.

Learners have had a busy week and have particularly enjoyed art activities. Our focus this term is collage and this week we have been sorting different materials into groups. We used many different materials including card, paper, felt, wool and feathers. The children first sorted the materials into groups by colour. We then sorted the same materials in groups by texture. This proved to be a little more tricky. We identified materials that were bumpy, rough, smooth and soft.

On Friday, we had a lovely morning in Church, celebrating our families. Learners, together with Pioneers sang a wonderful song, giving thanks to all the people in our lives that care for us.

We are looking forward to our sports day over the next couple of weeks and will hope the weather stays fine.

Check in on our class page next week, to see what we have been learning!
