Well with all the rain recently, water definitely has been a theme in 9A!
In Science we looked at how magnetism still worked in water. Pupils were amazed how they could still move the paper clip around in the glass of water using a magnet.
In Art we carried on looking at famous artists and their different styles of work. We have just looked at the work of Claude Monet and his painting ‘Waterlillies’. Pupils then used paint to recreate the or very own version of the picture. We used a special tape to make the shape of the bridge and dabbed paint on the paper to get the effect of the water and the plants. When the tape was removed it left behind a clear shape of the bridge, everyone was pleased with the results.
Everyone is working hard and making good progress with their swimming when we go to Hindley pool each week. We have been practicing the different strokes on our fronts and backs and floating in a star shape. We are keeping up with our tally chart work with someone different each week counting all the pupils in when we arrive.
