After many weeks of practicing, we did our Christmas Performance with the Music Generation teachers today. We performed songs like ‘A Blues’, Glory Be’ and Jingles Bells. For many of us it was the first time performing with our instruments in front of an audience and we were fantastic!

For our art we have been learning about the artist Claude Monet and his style of Impressionism painting. We created our own versions of his painting of the Japanese Bridge by using masking tape to create the shape of the bridge

     

Then we mixed different shades and hues of our paint and applies it using a dabbing technique to get a blurred effect.

 

 

 

      

Here we are with some of our finished pieces.

   

In our science lesson today we were learning about magnets and exploring magnetism. We worked in pairs to carry out an investigation into what magnets attract. We gathered objects made from lots of different materials and we predicted whether or not they would be attracted to the magnet. We then used a magnet to test each object and recorded our results. Some of the results were quite surprising. We had great fun working as scientists and investigating magnetism!

We have been taking part in the Food Dudes programme for the last few weeks.  We have been really good at eating our fruit and vegetables every day and we have won lots of prizes for doing it! We’re moving on to the second phase now where we can earn super certificates for bringing fruit and vegetables in for our lunch every day.
