Current Topic

Our topic for Term 1 is ‘Our Wonderful World of Colour’. We will be learning about how rainbows are formed and exploring colour mixing through creative activities.

Reminders and Routine

Children will need to have a water bottle and fruit snack in school each day. Please ensure that all personal items are named – especially jumpers and cardigans!

We would encourage children to share a story at home daily to help develop a love for reading. Children should be encouraged to develop their independence by doing as much for themselves as possible. This can include putting on their own coat, changing their shoes, tidying away their belongings and toys and helping their grown ups at home.

PE

Our PE Day will be Tuesday. Children should come into school in their PE Kit on this day each week.

Learning News

This week, we have been continuing to explore colour mixing ahead of our art project on the artist Kandinsky, which starts next week! The children have taught themselves how to create secondary colours using primary colours through exploration, hand printing and creating a large colour wheel to display in our classroom! We are really looking forward to creating our own Kandinsky inspired art work over the next few weeks.
