Topic "Paintings, Portraits and Photographs"
Pointillism as an art technique used by artists such as Andre Derain was
introduced this week. We discussed Georges Seurat too, we looked at a picture
painted using this technique and we studied parts in detail. We visited https://hwb.wales.gov.uk/cms/hwbcontent/Shared%20Documents/vtc/pointillist_paintings/eng/Introduction/default.htm
to find out more about the pointillist technique and about a different way of
painting which includes aspects of colour mixing. We then had the opportunity
to create our own picture using the pointillist technique and apply previous
knowledge of colour mixing to this.
Maths
We continued to revise written methods for
addition, subtraction, multiplications, division, finding differences and
problems.
Next week will begin work on Data. The children are
confident in reading various types of graphs and; with some support they are
beginning to interpret charts and data presented in different ways. The next
step is to create our own graphs and charts to show the results of our science experiments.
Literacy
In
Literacy “Alliteration” was introduced. The children particularly enjoyed this
work and produced their own poems -
please see the good standard of work on display in class.
Next week we will have our last and final “Big Write”
which is an open choice but still requires a little thought, discussion and
planning.
Also our last Spelling this school year will be an
opportunity to revise and review words given throughout year 3 as weekly
homework. Details are on the sheet to be given out on Monday.
