Dinosaurs

We have been learning about how dinosaurs became extinct. We all became scientists and decided how we thought they all died. Some of us think they were killed by an asteroid, some of us think the ice age was too cold for them and some of think a volcano killed them off. The rest of us need to do a bit more research to decide.

The children have been investigating the extinction of dinosaurs and have been recreating their own ideas. 

This is a volcano!

More of Arts Week

This afternoon the children have been creating their own version of Kandinsky's 'Concentric rings'. They used hexagons, pentagons, squares and triangles. Kandinsky mostly used paint for his master pieces so we did the same.

Arts week in Reception

This week we are celebrating art and our theme across the school is 'famous artists'. In Reception we are learning about Wassily Kandinsky. As Kandinsky used classical music as a starting point for his paintings, we listened to a piece of music by Wagner (Kandinsky's favourite). The music by Wagner inspired the children to talk about what feelings, colours and shapes it evoked. Today we looked at Kandinsky's most famous piece 'The concentric rings' and recreated our own version in the form of a tree.
