Year 6 have been learning the vocabulary for different parts of a circle including: circumference, diameter, chord, radius, sector and arc.
We also learnt that you can calculate the radius of a circle if you know its diameter as the radius is exactly half the length of the diameter. Of course, you can also find the diameter of a circle if you know the radius!
We enjoyed being in the outdoors to find the diameter and radius of circles during our lesson.
On Friday we braved the winds and showers to hunt for signs of Spring. We talked about how the world around us is beginning to change and that it will soon be Easter time. We turned into nature detectives and went for a bracing walk around our playing fields and school grounds and we were really surprised how many things we managed to spot when we looked really carefully.
This term, Scafell Class have produced the most creative and original work in their unit on line, colour and pattern. All of which has been completed at home through a carefully planned sequence of work delivered via recorded lessons on Teams. The quality of this work has been outstanding.
We began by looking at the work of Carolee Clark who produces very bold, colourful portrayals of the things around her including: animals, buildings, people and studies of fruit.
Scafell have been studying in detail her use of colour, line and pattern as seen from this collection of pieces sent in to us recently:
We have learnt the difference between tints, tones and shades to make a wider range of colours in our palettes:
And finally, we have created our own pieces of original work inspired by the artist by applying all the skills, knowledge and understanding over the final two weeks of lessons:
Look at some of the lovely new displays around school to celebrate all your learning at home and your amazing achievements in running and cooking too!
The very last of our three challenges over recent weeks really seems to have ignited plenty of imagination.
We have chocolate pizzas, hotdog pizzas, and barbecue pizzas!
Well done everyone, including parents who no doubt had to tidy up afterwards. Mrs Mason has a nice surprise for all entrants this week to welcome you back to school.
Drool worthy photos attached.
Lots of the staff in school have been dressing up this week as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Can you work out who we are?
Let us know who you think we are when you return to school on Monday and don’t forget to send us your photographs for our display in the hall too!
Well, after all that running we deserved a sweet treat challenge, hence our wonderful cupcake entries, everyone different and very gorgeous.
Mrs Mason will again be highlighting her favourites this week and for those who participate in any of our foodie challenges (providing photographic evidence of course), there will be a special treat awaiting for you on your return to school on 8th March.
It isn’t too late to get involved – we have ‘pizza designing’ next week, so get stuck in and be part of this ‘cook and share’ fun!
Pictures for you to drool over are attached…….
