This term in Year 4, we have been getting very creative as we have been learning about Pop Art. We looked at two famous Pop Artists – Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Inspired by their work, we created Pop Art paintings of the Tor and used Ben-Day dots to draw self-portraits in a cartoon style. For Remembrance Day, we used oil pastels and poster paint to create stained glass window effect pictures of poppy fields.
Also as it’s the festive season, we have made Christmas cards using cut outs to create silhouettes and shadows, and we were lucky enough to be visited by Father Christmas, who gave us some new games and activities to use during wet play.
In French, we have been learning how to talk about how we get to school and developing our skills around talking about the weather. We got into the festive spirit learning a French Christmas song which we performed at the Christmas show – C’est magnifique!
In PSHE, we talked about and explored our relationships with each other – what makes a friendship work, what to do if we’re unhappy, how to be respectful of each other’s personal space and how to self-regulate our emotions for those difficult times we all have now and again.
