21 Feb Art & Team work in Year 4
Last half term, we explored collage, water colour paints and our sketching and shading skills to create this final piece of art – a mixed media portrayal of birds on a tree. To create the background, we used water colours and created different moods for our paintings. To create our birds, we practice our sketching skills and then explored shading them in different ways to create different effects. At the end of the topic, we created our very own gallery in our classrooms and wandered around it, appreciating each others art. Finally, we evaluated our own work and thought about what we liked best about our creations and how we could improve them if we were to make them again. We hope you like them!
Teamwork in Year 4
Our focus in PSHCE last half term was teamwork. For our last two lessons, we worked in groups to design and create ‘The Funniest Potato Man’. After we had created them, we then had to work as a group to present our ‘Potato Man’ to the rest of the class. The focus of these sessions was team work and we talked a lot about cooperation – what it means to cooperate with each other and why it is so important when we work in a group. The lessons were a lot of fun and we also learnt a lot. One thing puzzled us though – which potato man was the funniest? We couldn’t decide. What do you think?
