Summer's here!

​It’s been an exciting start to the first half of the summer term in Yew Class.  In English we have started a new book, Ocean Meets Sky by Eric and Terry Fan.  It is a beautiful and poignant story with equally stunning illustrations and explores the themes of family, memory and loss. As a stimulus we had a box of ‘Grandpa’s things’.  This brought the class closer to the characters.  We also used role play to understand the text further.
 
We have started on art this week and looking at the Dutch Artist, Ton Schulten and his Cityscapes.  This week we were practising his style but mainly focussing on colour mixing.  It was wonderful hearing the children getting excited over discovering ‘their’ new colours!
 
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
