Week 7, Term3

Last week we were lucky enough to visit the Suter Art Gallery to enjoy a touring exhibition by John Bevan Ford.
John had travelled all over the world carving, sculpting and painting. This is reflected in his art work by birds.
We took care to look at the patterns on the art work then we made our own birds. They look fantastic!
To end the visit we put a giant size puzzle back together. We had a wonderful morning.



We have started our new Inquiry Topic ‘Fairy Tale Citizens’. We are looking at the various ways people express themselves. At the moment we are ‘Setting the Scene’ by exploring fairy tales we know, discovering what makes a fairy tale different from other stories and good and bad characteristics of some fairy tale characters. Our next step is to ‘Acquire’ information. We will keep you posted!

This week…
Our sounds are ‘th’ and ‘qu’. Our words are ‘that’ and ‘then’.
During maths time we will be continuing to work on fractions.
We will be making a start on our masks for the annual mask parade which is early next term. We are making African themed masks. At some stage we may need parent helpers. Please let Steph or myself know if you are available.
On Wednesday the 23rd we will be having our folk dancing display at 2.30pm in Trinity Hall. Please put this in your diary now.

Have a happy and safe week!
