Today we have been using the work of L.S. Lowry to explore how to create perspective in our sketches. We worked hard to include some of the typical features seen in Lowry’s work, including terraced streets and factories.
Here are some of our sketches.
In English Haughmond are learning about Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We have read about Oberon sending Puck to fetch a magical flower so that he can play a trick on Titania! We have created our own magical flowers, and next week will be writing about their powers!
In Haughmond we have finished our week by decorating glass jars, taking inspiration from the Murano glass of Italy. We think our jars will look lovely with a candle inside to light them up!
Haughmond have had a brilliant day learning about Italian art. We have painted our own versions of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel underneath our tables and then used inspiration from Ancient Rome to create mosaic pictures.
This half term in art we have been learning about different methods of creating prints. We learnt about William Morris and then created our own water inspired print using quarter of a polystyrene pizza base! First we had to draw our design before colouring it in with felt tip pen. Then we sprayed the printing block with water and used it to print! We had to repeat the process 4 times to create a complete circle.
Here are some of our artworks. We are very proud of them!
For World Book Day we have watched and listened to MC Grammar, including his World Book Day rap. After listening to his Gruffalo rap, we decided we would like to rap our own Julia Donaldson book, as she is our author of the half term. We were very excited on Friday morning to discover that MC Grammar himself had seen and commented on our video!
Please use the below link to watch our rap. We worked really hard on the words and rhythm and hope you enjoy our creation!
Haughmond’s World Book Day Rap
Welcome back everyone in 2024!
Well done to the recipients of our first set of certificates in 2024…
This week I have added a reading lesson for homework on Reading Eggs. Please also read with a grown up at least 4 times this week and write it in your reading record as well as practising your times tables.
Also, when we were visited by Firefighter Rob this week, he challenged us to learn our full address. Please practise this over the week. We will see if we can remember our addresses next Friday.
This week in Haughmond we have been learning about why we observe Remembrance Day. We have found out about the symbolism of the poppy and the traditions used to remember the end of World War One. We discussed how Remembrance helps us to think of those who have been involved in all wars and Josie told us stories about her Dad and shared his medals with us. Some of the rest of us also talked about our great-grandparents who we knew had been in the military. This afternoon we finished the week making poppy suncatchers and a class poppy wreath.
This week we were visited by Firefighter Rob who came to talk to us about his job and how he fights fires in 2023. He talked about the equipment that firefighters use and we compared it to the equipment used to fight the Great Fire of London. He also talked to us about how to keep our homes and ourselves safe.
