Thursday 4th February
Hi momentous 6th Class!
"Every Moment can be a Memory" - Today's quote is a suitable one today because it's THROWBACK THURSDAY! Hope you enjoy today's memory video!
Really good work on yesterday's Reading Groups - well done all! We are finishing I Am David today. Some of your predictions are below - some really clever ones, I wonder are you right?
For our art lesson we will be looking at how circles are used by different artists and we will be making our own circle art by drawing beautiful mandalas! You will need a compass, a ruler, a pencil, a black marker, paper and colours!
If you don't have a compass, any circular objects will do - cup, bowl, pringles box, get a few if you can!
