Room 7 has had a busy start to the term.....

Greenhithe's 125th Centenary - 20 October:

MOTAT - 26 October

We really enjoyed celebrating Greenhithe School's 125th Centenary and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to MOTAT.

On Friday the 10th Room 3 were on the stage for assembly. 

 We had made some paper hats so we could share the sun safe message.

 Some of us get a little bit shy because there were too many people.

 We sang Hats on Top.

 The big children from Room 24 helped us to sit nicely and to sing our song.

Room 5 loved dressing up for our 125th Jubilee celebrations. Everyone looked fabulous and we enjoyed playing old fashioned games and learning the way our Great, Great Grandparents may have.

Here is Seth writing numbers on a chalkboards.

Room 11 olden day dress up

In Term 3 we were learning about Greenhithe community and where it all began. We looked at photos from the past and compared it to the present. We also looked at how life was different many, many years ago and how they are different to the way things are now.

To celebrate Greenhithe's 125 Years on the first week back, Term4, as a school we all dressed up as though we were from 125 years ago. It was super fun! We got to play olden day games like hopscotch and jump rope and walk in a parade in the afternoon. Here are some photos that we took throughout the day...

Room 3 loves PMP

Room 3 is lucky enough to have two PMP sessions a week. PMP is a perceptual motor programme that is designed to help children to develop their understanding of movement and language as a basis for learning. The children work in small groups with an adult helper.  However for the children in Room 3 it is all about learning and having fun.

What has room 6 been up to ....

Fun in room 6 This is our new class room and we are loving it. 

Writing is so much fun!

Room 6 have been reading Handas surprise and we have been looking at the different cultures in Africa. This is our African art. 

These are our wonderful sunflowers. We were inspired by Vincent Van Gogh

Room 12's Art Display

This term we have been learning about two different artists, Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky.

We looked at Mondrian’s cubist art and used this as a base to

create our own cubist art piece using no more than 3 coloured crayons and a black vivid.

Then we looked at Wassily Kandinsky’s use of colour and circles. We used an idea that Beth Carter came up with to paint circles using Kandinsky’s technique and then use them as flowers on our trees. Our backgrounds where created using crayon and dye and our trees are made from black paper.

We hope you like our interpretations of these artist's work. We love how our display looks at the Art Exhibition.

All the latest from Room 2

Term 3 has been busy in our brand new lovely classroom. We are enjoying our warm, brightly coloured room and all our new furniture.

This term we have been looking at the artist Kandinsky and basing our art work around his circle picture. We are excited about showing you some of our art at next week's art exhibition in the hall. Here is a sneak preview:

We have been learning about the past, present and future of the children in Room 2. Soon we are going to start learning about the past, present and future of Greenhithe School. Here is a photo of Rory sharing his poster with the class.

The courier delivered an exciting package to school for Room 2 today. We have our own little garden and we will be planting our flower seeds in the next few days. 

Until next time
