This week we have had a whole week doing lots of Art and DT.

In Art we have been using our imaginations to make our own collage using paint and pens. To start we had to make our own patterned paper using paint, glue and mark making equipment. Once this was dry we then tore it and cut it to make our own imaginary scene. We then added more detail to our pictures using pens, before signing it like an Artist would. These will be framed and sold at the Summer Fayre in our very own Art Gallery!

In DT we have used the story of the King's Pants. We found the story very funny. All about a King who had different pattered pants for every occasion. We all designed our own pants, choosing the colours and what we would like to stick to them. Afterwards we all got to speak about what we liked about our pants to evaluate them.

In French this week, we played some traditional French playground games. We played one called Pecheurs et poissons - Fishermen and fish - which involved half the class being the net in a big circle and the other half weaving in and out of the linked hands, being the fish. At the end of the little rhyme, the arms come down and trap some fish in the net. They then join the net until a winner is left, still not caught by the net. On s'est bien amuse!

We have also had Year 5 come and visit us this week to do an investigation on their DT project. They had to design a house for the Three Little pigs and Reception had to try and blow them down using fans, hairdryers and blowing them. Reception loved this investigation as they already knew the story.

The Reception Team would also like to say how amazing Reception did in their first ever School assembly. The children worked so hard and we are very proud of each and every one of them!

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all on Monday.
