Beech Class and the Water Lily Pond

It's been great sharing our Home Learning about our Sporting Hero. There have been so many different choices, and we could all talk about why we like that person.

Today, we wore our sporty clothes to think about the Fun Run which is on 20th May. Lots of us would like to take part. We've brought sponsor forms home today. You can sign up here http://redbournfunrun.co.uk/

We've had great fun learning about Monet this week. We learnt some facts about him:
He was a famous artist. Lucas
He painted with oil paints. Benedict
He is more famous than Van Gogh! Mollie
Monet discovered Impressionism. Grace
This means it doesn't look exactly like photos, it's a bit fuzzy. He used quick brush strokes. Ross

We explored collage by finding out what we could do with a piece of tissue paper - twisting, scrunching,layering, tearing and folding. Then we applied our skills to create our own water lily collage inspired by our learning about Monet. Here are some of our collages- we worked really hard and persevered, using different skills. We were all able to talk about what we had enjoyed and done well as well as what we'd improve.



Mollie also continued her learning at home, by creating her own bridge and water lily pond picture using colouring pencils. We thought it looked great. Well done, Mollie. 

We continued learning netball skills. This week, we thought about shooting and we watched what the England Roses did. We had to stand with our feet shoulder width apart, with our knees a little bent. We learnt how to hold the ball to shoot and made great improvements with our shooting. 

We started practising our country dance- Buttered Peas, ready to show you just before half term. Well done to Tom and Poppy who are our May King and Queen.

Our home learning is to play a game with our family- thinking about sharing and taking turns!

This week, the Star Award is for applying learning.. Well done to Benedict, who thought really carefully about his collage skills to make his water lily and pond. 

Snowy Owl is going home with Charles this week. We've been so proud of how well Charles has concentrated on his art work and really persevered with his water lily. Well done Charles, have a great weekend with Snowy. 

Have a good weekend everyone.
