Year 3 – sculpture
In Year 3, we are continuing tour sculpture topic in our art lessons. Today, we used wires to create strong armatures. We then covered them in foil so they looked similar to those created by Giacometti.

Year 5 history…
Today we researched the 5 main Ancient Greek City States. We then looked at scenarios and placed people into the City State that would have best suited them. It was really hard as some people fit into more than one state but we reasoned and discussed reasons for placing them where we did.
Year 5 Gymnastics Lesson 2…
This week we looked at partner balances on 3 different levels. Some of us played it safe and perfected level 1 but some of us started on level 2. We had to hold the balances for 5 seconds so team work was a must-we were amazing!
Year 3 are brilliant artists
Year 3 are looking at sculpture in their art lessons this half term and the artist we are focusing on is Alberto Giacometti. He sketched stick men in an elongated style and also made sculptures in this style. We tried to sketch in the style of Giacometti today.
Year 3 – Science
Year 3 are learning all about plant this half term. We have looked at the different parts of a flowering plant and what plants need in order to grow well. Today, we set up an investigation to look at how important soil really is to plant growth. Do they REALLY need it? We have planted cress seeds in soil, sand, paper towel and cotton wool and we are going to observe the seeds as they grow. Most of us think that it will grow best in soil but we can’t wait to find out!
