Over this half term, Y3 have been looking at warm and cold colours using the colour wheel. We have created a new piece of artwork each week. We created pieces of artwork using primary, secondary, complimentary and harmonious colours before finally completing a masterpiece using all techniques of colour mixing we have learned to produce a landscape water colour painting of both warm and cool colours.
Take a look at our masterpieces we have created – we are very proud of our achievements!
Today our parents joined us for the last session of History Club. We talked about the history of bridges across the River Tyne and the building of the famous Tyne Bridge. We then made our very own Tyne Bridge using junk modelling materials.
This week we are learning about ladybirds and the different stages of their lifecycle. Look at our fantastic minibeast masterpieces!
This week in Reception, we have been learning about the coronation of King Charles III. We took part in activities covering many areas of the curriculum.
In History, we learned facts about King Charles and found out what a coronation was. We watched the coronation of the King’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
In Literacy, we wrote facts about King Charles.
In Geography, we learned about the commonwealth and looked at the commonwealth countries on a map.
In Art and DT, we made decorations for our classroom and designed flags to represent all of the commonwealth countries. We even had a go at drawing King Charles!
In ICT, we used Google Earth to look at Great Britain and the commonwealth countries. We were very excited to see our school!
In Reception we have been learning about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. We explored his work and loved his painting of ‘Sunflowers’. We then became artists painting our own Sunflowers. Look at our fabulous work!
This week, Reception invited our adults into school to decorate an egg with us. Our creations were EGGCELLENT! We then performed an Easter concert for our adults singing lots of spring songs. Our adults were so proud of us!
Before Christmas, Amazon UK contacted Harton Primary School to ask if we wanted some Christmas decorations that the children could use to create their own designs. Pupils in year 4 and 5 had the chance to create their own designs and there were even prizes for the top designs!
Reception have been just as busy as Santa’s elves celebrating and preparing for Christmas!
We loved taking part in Christmas dinner and Christmas jumper day, playing games and dancing at our Christmas party and performing Christmas songs for our family during the Reception carol concert.
We have been very creative in the classroom, exploring lots of different materials and making Christmas decorations to fill our homes with!
A very MERRY CHRISTMAS from everyone in Reception!
