Poetry and Picasso
18 Oct 2024Form 4 have been focusing on poetry this week in English.
First, they wrote an acrostic poem based on an autumn theme and then they had a go at writing a shape poem in the form of a leaf. They chose a leaf from the current abundance outside and then carefully drew round it in their English books to make a suitable shape.
In maths, the children have been using coordinates and directions. They drew their own treasure islands and then paired up to ask each other questions and direct each other around their maps.
The children also learned about the story of Boudicca and how various animals' sight differs from ours.
Form 4 took part in an art workshop about Picasso-style portraiture. We look forward to seeing the final exhibition of all the portraits done by Forms 2 to 5.
