On Monday we were visited by Nicola from Leeds City Art Galłery who led a workshop with the children based on some of the galleries exhibits. Each child drew a chosen artwork before the class then voted for their favourite, to be featured in a publication when the gallery reopens later this year.
We also took part in a workshop, on World Book Day, with visiting author Hilary Robinson, writing our own version of mixed up fairytales. The class really enjoyed being given creative license, within reason, to develop their own stories and I can disclose that they didn't all HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
Later in the afternoon the class then did some shared reading with Wheler class, a fantastic experience
This week we have also continued to develop multiplication skills in maths, learning about square and cube numbers and applying our knowledge through maths games.
In literacy, as well as writing fairy tales the children have been tasked with the role of editors, improving the spellings, grammar, punctuation and description in various pieces of work.
Have a lovely weekend.
