The children have been working very hard on their sewing. They have done running stitch, cross stitch and some have even tried back stitch. They have persevered when it was difficult and frustrating and shown excellent resilience! 

Here are some of of our wonderful observations:

"I think it is night because there is a moon in the corner of the picture.” Ronan

“I can see a bird, I think it is dead. If I was there I would be able to smell bird blood.” Kole

“I think the wooden pole holding the bird spins, and the man’s hand is pointing at it to make it spin.” Callum

“The bird has flown in and they are trying to rescue it.” Alex

“This picture is from a long time ago, and a long time ago they used to capture birds.” Archie

“I can see somebody crying and it looks like there’s lemonade in the glass so it’s a new painting.” JJ

“I think the tall man is sprinkling something on to the bird.”

“I think the girl is sad because the bird is going to die.”

“If I was there, it would smell woody because there’s lots of wooden things around.”

“They could be in a treehouse because it looks like it at the top of the picture.” David

“Some people in the picture are really looking at what’s going, on some are looking in the other direction.” Phoebe

“Everybody in the picture looks serious and worried.” Emily M

“The man’s face looks like a skull, it’s frightening.” Amelie

“The arm does not look connected to the man.” Harvey

“I think the glass is a lantern and it’s creating the light; the painter wants us to look at the part that’s not in the dark.” Bodhi

We celebrated Roald Dahl's birthday this week by exploring some of his wonderful work. Roald Dahl is famous for his children's books, but he is also famous for his poems. We started the week by reading an extract from The BFG, followed by an extract from Fantastic Mr Fox. Later in the week, we explored the poem, The Dentist and the Crocodile. We have been developing our retrieval skills through a quick quiz, to see how much we can remember from what has been read.
