Understanding the primary colours
During Arts week, we understood what the three main primary colours are. We learnt that they are blue, red and yellow. We were able to understand the different colours and shades of these primary colours that can be formed by adding white and black. To extend our learning further, we decided to mix two combinations of primary colours together to make a different colour. For example, when you mix blue with yellow, the combination results in green being formed.
Music
We created our own music for an enchanted forest. We imagined what sounds we would hear in an enchanted forest then we used different objects and musical instruments to create these sounds. We then sequenced our sounds to create a piece of music. We then worked as a team to show our classmates the musical piece we created.
History
During History, we learnt about the Tudors and created Tudor patterns by using the printing method. We identified things that belonged during the Tudor Era and discussed what patterns we need to include for our canvas. We then created a collage of pictures and items on top of our Tudor designs and backgrounds.

For World Book Day, discussed and shared our favourite books and characters with our classes. We then decorated our own t-shirts in the theme of our favourite books/ characters. we wore these t-shirts during World Book Day. We were also able to come into school in our own costume pieces. We all celebrated our love of reading and characters and we enjoyed the day all while learning about each others favourite books!
