Home Learning Activities - Tuesday 29th June

-

Hello Class 4,

Here are some activities for those of you who are self-isolating. 

This week is Arts Week in school, so a lot of these activities are art focused. Please don't worry if you are unable to complete them all or need to adapt them, just do the best you can with the materials you have available. 

Art - Activity 1
. 
For this session we are going to focus on colour, which was very important to impressionist artists. 
Begin by looking at this PowerPoint presentation about colour theory. 

For your task, I would like you to try to create your own version of a colour wheel. You could use the  ideas below or this template. If you don't have any paints available, you could try using colouring pens/pencils or crayons.  



Monet believed that colours were only powerful if they were contrasted with their complimentary colour. This means that one colour would be placed next to its opposite colour on the colour wheel. 


Extension - if you have time, you could have a go painting/colouring two complimentary colours next to each other e.g. red and green. If you're using paint, you could experiment with using large brushstrokes in an impressionist style.

Art - Activity 2

Impressionists were often inspired by natural light and how different colours capture the light at different stages. 

Have a look at the different of the paintings of haystacks by Monet and complete the short task underneath. Then I would like you to have a go at sketching two of these paintings. Think about how you can use shading to show the light and darks areas. 

Guided Reading

Spend around 15-20 minutes reading a book.

Spellings

Spend some time practising your spellings - see the separate blog post for this week's spellings.  

Art - Activity 3

Look at these images of impressionist paintings that show light reflected in water. How have the artists painted the reflection of the light? What brushstrokes and colours have been used?

Your task is to have a go at recreating one of these paintings using any materials that you have available. 

Extra activities (optional):

If you have time, you could also spend some time practising your maths skills using these websites:

Hit the Button  - You don't need to download the app, you can just click on the buttons to start playing.

Top Marks - Choose a category from the menu at the top and then select a game to play. 

Guardians: Defender of Mathematica - A fun a game for practising a range of maths skills.

Times Tables Rockstars - Great for practising your times tables.

If you would like to send in any work or photographs from today, please email them to: admin@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk 

I hope to see you back in school very soon.

Best wishes,

Mrs Piper

Good afternoon Class 4, We're coming to the end of another week of home learning, with only one week left for the year! I'm so impressed with how you have all coped during this difficult time. Next week's home learning will look a little different as it is the last week of term, so this will be the last day with the Maths and English activities that you have been doing. There is now an Open the Book Playlist where you can find all of the videos that have been recorded by the Open the Book team during this time. You will be able to find the video for today on there.  Here are your activities for  Friday 10th July . Have a good day! Miss Greenwood

James did a great Pointillist painting of a 'Dino Piggy'! I love the imagination behind this picture James and good choice of colours!  Great job! Ted has been working  hard during Home Learning. I am so impressed with this Anglo-Saxon settlement! What a fantastic job!  I also really like  how creative your model of the Water Cycle is with the hanging sun and clouds! Well done Ted.  James has been working hard researching Anglo-Saxons and his cat Marli was keen to find out more too! I'm so glad you're enjoying this topic James and Marli, well done for remembering all 7 kingdoms too. Great job! Ed has been doing a brilliant job helping out at home! Well done for making your bed and doing the washing Ed! Super helper! Charlie did an amazing retelling of The Willow Pattern with his own plate story! I love that you recreated it using Lego construction workers. Great story! Well done.

Hello Class 4, I hope you have had a fantastic half-term with the lovely weather! I can't believe we are in our final term already! As many of you know Red Class, Class 1 and Class 6 are returning to school this week which means our activities are going to be a little different. Message to parents:  Please be aware that this term you will notice that the activities posted on the class blogs will be a little different from what you have been used to previously, for example, they may not always include an English and Maths lesson. This is for several reasons, i) there will be a focus on Well Being for the children (in and out of school) as we move through the Covid-19 journey; ii) normally during the summer term we have a range of curriculum focus weeks; iii) to ensure consistency for groups both attending school, or remaining at home. This approach will enable teaching staff to manage providing the planning for both groups in a workable manner. This week, the school w
