We created a timeline showing the history of robots.

Eric Joyner – Art Gallery

We have been studying an American artist called Eric Joyner. He draws and paints pictures containing robots. Eric Joyner always includes a doughnut, cupcake or yum yum in his drawings. We created our own drawings, using his style.

 

Internet Research – Roman Shields

During ICT, we searched the internet for different Roman shield designs. When we found one we liked, we used Paint to draw the design. Here are some of our designs.

Science Investigation

Music – The Planet Suite

This term, we are going to be looking at The Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. During our lesson today, we listened to the following pieces of music and created a representation through drawing, sketching, words and doodles.

1. Mars, the Bringer of War
2. Venus, the Bringer of Peace
3. Mercury, the Winged Messenger
4. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity

Here are some examples of the representations we created for the music.

Open Afternoon

On Friday afternoon, parents were invited into school. Children were able to share their work and work with their parents.
It was a wonderful opportunity for all!

 

ICT – Creating Dragons out of Shapes

Our ICT lessons have been great fun, so far this term. We have been learning new skills to help us do things quicker on a computer.

These include using:

• ctrl c – copy
• ctrl v – paste
• grouping objects together

By using these skills, we have been able to create dragons using the shapes on PowerPoint.

Do you like our dragon heads?

Creating a Clay Dragon

We have had an amazing time making our clay dragons with Louise. We used lots of utensils to create a range of effects on our dragons. Some of us made 3D dragons and some of us made square shaped pots with dragons wrapped around them. We will have our clay dragons back in approximately two weeks, after they have been fired in the kiln.
Here are some photographs of us creating our clay models and holding our final creations.

 

Information Text – Komodo Dragons

This week we have been writing an information text (non-chronological report) on komodo dragons. We worked in pairs to write the paragraphs but decided independently how to present our work.

Here are some examples.

In the Library

Today, Neptune Class worked in the library because our classroom was being used for our clay work. We worked in small groups and we were able to use the new furniture. Some of us thought it was great working in the library because there was a lot of room, but others found it noisy at times. Overall, we thought it was a great place to be able to work!
