Art week

This week has been our Art Week. We have been looking at the artist Claes Oldenburg?(January 28, 1929 – July 18, 2022).

He was a Swedish-born American sculptor, best known for his?public art?installations typically featuring large replicas of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is?soft sculpture?versions of everyday objects.

Here are a few of the sculptures he has created.

We spent some time appraising his work. The children really enjoyed looking at his work. We used sentence stems for our sentences. Here are some of our thoughts on his sculptures.

Before beginning his 3D sculptures Claes would sketch his piece. We had a go at sketching different fruits and vegetables.

We then had lots of fun with our parents visiting and making the different fruits and vegetables out of clay. This was messy but lots of fun. We really enjoyed having our parents join us and I think the parents enjoyed themselves too!

The next day we began exploring the colours we would use once our sculptures were dry. We started off with the prime colours and then began mixing to create a colour wheel.

When our sculpture were ready to paint we had lots of fun recreating the colours of the fruit and painting them. Here are our finished masterpieces.

Talk Money week – Week beginning 7th November

We explored different methods of making payments including using cash, credit cards, online payments, paying with a phone or watch. We had lots of fun exploring real notes and identifying all of the security features on them.

We discussed how the images on our coins and notes will be changing soon so that they will have a portrait of King Charles III. Having looked at the notes, we decided to design new notes.

Solomon W Golomb and Henry Ernest Dudeney. The children have had lots of fun creating shapes out of just five squares. We then came together to see if we had all twelve, which are named after letters of the alphabet (see the picture below)

One puzzle that became popular in the early 19th century was trying to fit all 12 pieces together to form a rectangle. We had a go at this. It was so much fun! Some of the children were able to complete the puzzle.
