RSHE: Relationships

In RSHE, we are learning about relationships. We have been thinking about our similarities and differences by sharing which toys and books we prefer.

We are learning about the artist Gustav Klimt

We looked at ‘The Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park’ and considered how it made us feel and what we could see in the picture.

We looked at ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer’ and made our own versions.

And Christmas cards.

KS1 Dance – Toys

This half term Emerald Class have been learning different ways to dance. We have been doing this by pretending to be different types of toys!

As Jack in the Boxes we danced a duet using act and react, with one child acting as the Jack in the Box and the other reacting to its movements. As Morph, we used our bodies to show a playdough man being made with many different changes in height and speed. And as clockwork toys, we listened to the beat and rhythm of music and moved in different ways as we pretended to be a clockwork band.

Collective Worship – Circles

In our circle assembly, we discussed ways we could save energy in school.

Our ideas included:

Opening the curtains and blinds to let light in
Turning off lights when we leave a room
Turning off taps
Wearing more layers
Only putting on the heating when we need it
