Art- Investigating patterns, by Miss McEvoy
Date: 28th Sep 2021 @ 9:47am
This half term our Art topic is all about patterns. We were all very excited to start using our new sketch books. To start our topic we discussed different patterns around us at school, at home and in nature. We then talked about what makes up a pattern, the most common answer was about shapes and repeating. We then looked at different artists who use patterns in their work; Piet Mondrian, Henri Mattise, Kandinsky, Keith Haring and Gustav Klimt. After discusing their art work we then choose 3 different patterns to recreate in our sketch book. We used colour to enhance our work.

In Science, we have been learning all about plants. To begin our topic we identified and classified the different plant parts which we learnt in KS1. We then moved on to learning the roles for the different parts of the plant. We came up with some actions to help us remember these we also played a match up game where we matched the part of the plant to their role. We visited our 'vocabulary' station and had a go at learning our new Tier 3 words and their definitions by saying these to our friends. We then moved on to learning about Water Trasnportation, to demonstarte this we conducted an investigation with celary, water and food colouring, and observed over time. Finally, we played quiz, quiz, trade to learn lots of new facts and information.

We did some Outdoor Learning, categorising different sources on whether they were a Primary or a Secondary source, we then went on to look at different periods of History and locate The Stone Age on a timeline.

Finally, we had a go at ordering a timeline of World History noticing the dates, beginning to understand what BC and AD stand for.
