Vivaldi

 Did you know that Vivaldi used only 5 musical notes in one of his most recognisable pieces of music. we composed very short pieces using only 5 notes in class today

Cubist artists at work

 We have been learning about many of the different aspects of Cubism. Today we drew some weird and wonderful self - portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso.

Confusing photos

 In this photo the children are ordering themselves according to the volume they have written on a piece of paper - ask them to explain what they had to do.

This photo shows 3 people from our class - who are they and why do they look so strange?

Music is our inspiration!

 We listened to a variety of excerpts from pieces of classical music chosen by Mrs Bay and tried to paint whatever we felt.

Everyone produced a piece of art which was individual and unique

Which paper would you use?

We discovered how different papers are suited to different tasks.

Maths Challenge Champs

Mrs Chilvers came to talk to the children about the Newbold Weekly Maths Challenge.

Great fun and a workout for the brain too.

Keep an eye on the Champs poster on the classroom door to see how everyone is doing.

Ask the children to explain what they are doing - is it Maths or is it Art? You decide.

How can we plot positive and negative numbers on a timeline?

Ask the children to explain what we did......
