Thank you to everyone who wrapped and brought in a book. Our 'Bookvent' calendar has been a huge success and a lovely way to share our favourite stories together!

What a brilliant week we have had! We have been learning all things Frida this week, starting with learning the song, 'In a World of Colour'. We read the song lyrics to help us learn the words fluently and then we used the green screen to record our performances. I'm sure you'll agree that ours is just as professional as the original!
In the Forest school we recreated some of Frida's portraits using natural materials. We then also immitated the artist's portraits by capturing natural backgrounds and exaggerated eyebrows!

To publish our amazing Sound Collector poems, we decided to create stop motion animations. We worked in teams and took our time and then recorded our poems over the animation.
In Art, we have started our Fabulous Frida paintings. This week, we looked at the colours that Frida Kahlo used in her artworks and leaerned how to mix different shades of greens and browns using powder paint. We added white to create tints and added black to create tone in our shades.
