Congratulations to Owen for achieving 75 nights of reading! Well done!
Science- This week in science, students are learning how to plant a seed and explore how it grows. Each student has planted a broad bean seed in a cup using cotton wool and water. They are learning about the parts of a plant and the stages of its life cycle—from seed to mature plant. Students will observe their bean plants over the next three weeks and record their findings and predictions in their plant journals. This hands-on activity helps them understand what plants need to grow and how living things change over time.
Art- This week in Visual Arts, students are exploring the element of line by looking at how different types of lines—such as curly, wavy, and zig-zag—are used in famous artworks to show movement and direction.

Using a photo of their teacher as a starting point, they are drawing expressive lines from their heads outward and filling the space with colourful patterns and designs to create ‘crazy hair’. This creative activity helps students understand how lines can be used to express ideas, emotions, and energy in art.
Technologies– This week in technologies, the students created their masks that they designed the week before. Here is what they came up with:
