Term 1, Week 8 in Room 3

This week in Room 3 we continue to work on throwing and catching for large ball skills (we are getting really good at checking our buddies' eyes and hand positions to see whether or not they are ready for our pass!). We will also keep working on our vivid and dye drawing skills with Mrs Jessop on Wednesday. 

For our topic ‘change’ focus this week we will be looking at sakura, japanese cherry blossom trees, and the ways in which they change through the seasons and why. We have another short video clip to watch, some more cycles to think about and some more reports to write, and we’ll be finger painting some very seasonal trees on Thursday this week. We would be very grateful if you could send along an old, named overshirt to keep our uniforms clean. If you have any spares there are always children without an art shirt who would be very grateful to borrow these. 

Please note also that this is our week to share in assembly and we’ll be talking about our Change topic and sharing our sakura trees. Assembly starts at 2.30pm on Friday if you would like to come and support us!

What season is it in these images of sakura trees? How do you know?






















We were fascinated watching blossom grow!
