Playing at School + Screencastify

Spring String Art

Room 4 have been creating spring paintings for our assembly  using the string art method.
First we painted a background which needs to be wet when you apply the paint on the string.
Next you cut a length of sting and cover it with paint. You may choose as many colours as you like.
Then you gently lay the string on your back ground in an S shape.
Gently push the string down so that it is all touching the canvas.
The last thing you do is to drag the string down and a magical flower appears.
This was a messy but fun activity.

Winter Poems & Screencastify

This week we were leanring how to use Screencastify.

We created a Winter Poem by practising "drag and drop".

We recorded ourselves reading our poem.

Here is some of our work...

Plastic in our ocean

Room 4 have been looking at the impact that plastic has on our marine environment.
You’ve probably seen videos of these impacts first hand, like a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose or a whale trapped in a fishing net, and divers that release it from harm. Some of these incidents have happy endings, but in reality, many more do not.
We have spent the last week picking up plastic in our school grounds that may very well end up in our waterways and then eventually into the ocean. We have been filling our paper mache whales with this plastic and creating environmental art that reflects how we feel about this problem.
