Responding to Art – Reflection 12/09/2018

 

What challenged your thinking in Visual Art this term?

 

Which piece of art did you connect with the most, ‘The Dancer’ or ‘Pelicans and Waterways’?

 

Why do you think you connected more with that piece than the other?

 

When producing your own piece of art in response to these, what did you find worked well?

 

What did you find a challenge or difficult?

 

Did your piece work out the way you would have liked or expected?

 

If you could have changed anything about your artwork, what would it have been?

 

What medium did you prefer to use – grey lead, watercolour, pastels, crayons?

 

Why was that your prefered medium?

Literacy and Numeracy Week

AnnaLeave a comment

It was an exciting start to Literacy and Numeracy Week today with our SMCM Book launch. All home groups have worked extremly hard to create at least one picture book that contains a Mathematical concept. We were involved in every aspect of the writing process – from planning, drafting and editing to publishing and now sharing our works of art!

Now it’s time to read and evaluate. This week, parents and families are invited to read all books displayed in the Galleria. Please leave a sticky note comment for the authors!

What book are you interested in reading?

What Mathematical concept does this book contain?

The Year Threes are currently learning about multimodal texts. We are reading, viewing and listening to texts independently on our Chromebooks. We might be completing these activities while our peers are completing another activity so we need to use our own headphones.

  • If you haven’t got headphones at school, please bring them in as soon as possible
  • Please see your teacher if this is a problem
