Creating digital art
In Computing we have been learning to use different tools such as paint, erase, fill and shape to create digital paintings. We then completed a challenge to create a piece of work in the style of Piet Mondrian.
Storyboard idea animations – video content.
Last the children worked on a short storyboard for their animation and this week they have put it into action. Well done kids. Watch the videos below.
Partitioning numbers
We have been focussing on place value in our Maths lessons. We know that to partition numbers means to split into smaller parts. Today we looked at how many different ways we could partition a two-digit number. We enjoyed using the base 10 and moving the tens over.
Changing to our New System – Arbor
Please see the attached letter which details the changes which will be happening this week as we move to our new system. Your help with ensuring there is no outstanding debt on your Pay360 account would be greatly appreciated. Thanks RGPS...

Leaves and lines
We have enjoyed researching our artist for this half term - Henri Rousseau. Today, we went on a leaf hunt in our school grounds and studied their patterns. We practised cross hatching and sketching some of the lines we saw on the leaves.
