To celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee we have done lots of activities today. We created collages of the Queen using iconic images. We also decorated our own plates to use at our lunchtime picnic. Finally we decorated cakes and biscuits in the colours of red, white and blue to eat at our picnic. We then enjoyed a lovely picnic with the whole school outside on the field.
In computing today we talked about how images can be altered. We then took some pictures and had a go at changing them using effects and filters.
In English today we learnt about the Queen’s Jubilee and thought about what present we could send to the Queen to celebrate. We then wrote letters to the Queen explaining what we were sending and why, as well as telling her how we are celebrating the Jubilee.
In English today we had a go at writing poems about plants or flowers. We then learnt what a shape poem is and tried to turn them into shape poems. There were some great efforts!
In art today we had a go at drawing a pattern of stones and circles based on the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We then painted it.
In art we have been learning about Andy Goldsworthy and transient art, so as today was outdoor learning day we decided to get outside and create some artwork. We looked for natural materials and then created pieces of art using them.
Today in RE we talked more about peoples ideas about God. We thought about how not everyone believes in God but that we need to learn about what other people believe in order to respect their beliefs. We talked about when people who believe in God might think about God and drew pictures of these times.
In history today we recapped the story of Mary Anning, we then thought about what Mary was like as a person and what qualities she had. For instance, was she clever, patient, hardworking? We wrote down some qualities with our partner. We then chose three qualities and explained when Mary Anning had shown these qualities in her life.

We have started our new unit in Art looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Last week we learnt all about Andy Goldsworthy and looked at some of his works using natural materials. This week we went outside and collected some materials, we then brought them back inside and sorted them according to shape, size, colour or type.
