In maths the children have been learning how to do 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. First, using the little grids to help them and then once they were confident, they moved onto laying the calculations out for themselves. Then, the children have moved onto 3 digit by 2 digit, and then 4 digit by 2 digit.
The children have used the perseverance, independence and concentration gems. In art we have begun to learn about the artist Belinda King and Michael Rothenstein. The children have learnt that these artist creates prints and they have responded to the artwork and given feedback on their thoughts on the artwork. ![]() In the second lesson, the children have been learning how to create press-prints. In this lesson they had to create a simple design on a press-print and create then using rollers and tile, create their press-print. Next art lesson, the children will use the same press-print and add more to the image. They children used the creative gem. And the finished (well almost in a couple of cases) finished articles. Such a fun day exploring, taking apart, starting again and continuing to work to get the vacuum cleaners to work. The activity was completely child-led and the children explored the iterative process of changing and adapting their existing designs. All the children worked brilliantly in their groups to complete the task today. The children used the adventurous, cooperative and creative gems today.
In DT, we used all the circuit skills that we learnt before Christmas and created closed circuits. The children used motors and created their own fans. They constructed their outer casing, hoover bags, nozzles, etc. For some children, they didn’t quite get their vacuum to suck up, and for others they managed to get their vacuum cleaners to suck up small pieces of paper. The activity was completely child-led and the children explored the iterative process of changing and adapting their existing designs. All the children worked brilliantly in their groups to complete the task today. The children used the adventurous, cooperative and creative gems today.
