Miró paintings

It took us several stages to paint our Miró-inspired paintings.

...but now they are finished! The students in K3 have taken so many different approaches to this!

You can see an album of the photos here.

Guessing and counting

Guessing is a really important part of maths, making a good careful guess. 

Last week we guessed how many pebbles we could grab. This week it was cubes. We guessed first.

Lots of us counted by arranging the cubes into lines of ten:

Everyone had a go:

The Crazy Eye and the Jellyfish

We're writing stories based on Joan Miró's Constellation pictures. Parents are typing them out and sending them to the teachers. Here's the first one Simon received, a great story by Kai:

Once upon a time there was a crazy eye who met a jellyfish.

They had a little walk and then they went into a shop. They bought some milk and pizza. They also bought fire to heat them up.

Then they went out of the shop and they looked at the sky. They saw a rainbow and then the sun came. They had a little rest and they felt very warm. Next they met a crazy monster which looks like a whale and the whale came to them. It had one eye. “It looks like me!” said the monster eye. They walked and went on the aeroplane but the people were scared of them because they thought they were monsters. But it wasn’t a monster, it was just a crazy one not a real one.

It came night time they got off the aeroplane and saw two moons. They looked out of the window of their house and they were surprised about the two moons.
