Good morning! Just to let you know, for those of you learning at home we have swapped our PE and Science afternoon sessions around.  For those of you coming into school please continue to wear your PE kit on a Monday and Thursday.

We are no longer running the cuppa and a catch up session for parents on a Tuesday.  As always if you have any questions or wish to discuss things with your child’s teacher then continue to use email, we are always happy to get back in touch with you.  Below is the timetable for this week.

Phonics Live 11am

If you can’t join in with our live session at 11 then please watch Lesson 16 of the Year 1 Spring Term Lessons.

Art

This week in our art and harmony sessions we will be exploring colour-mixing. 

This afternoon is all about exploring what happens when you mix colours.

Try starting with the Primary colours – red, blue and yellow – and choose 2 to mix. What do you notice? 

Now try mixing a different combination of 2 colours.

What happens if you mix all 3 primary colours together?

You can use paint, pastels (oil or chalk) crayons, pencil crayons or even playdough to explore your colour-mixing. In school we might try making ice cubes with food colouring and dropping different coloured cubes into cups of water to see what happens…

Here are some ideas to get you started – have fun and do let us know what you discover as you mix!

If you don’t have any of these resources at home you could try this interactive colour-mixing colouring activity by clicking on the link:
