Kandinsky flowers

Room 4’s masterpieces are inspired by Kandinsky’s painting ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’. We really loved how Kandinsky experimented with the use of colour. Our paintings are our own experiments with colour and inspired by Kandinsky’s painting above. First, we had to choose our favourite primary colour to paint our background with. We then blended two primary colours at the top and bottom of the page to create a secondary colour and an interesting background for our own circles. If we used a warm background, we needed to try and use cooler colours for our circles. We really like our paintings because viewers can decide whether our circles are flowers in a field, balloons in the sky or lollipops in a shop!! We love using our imagination.

Describing words

I am learning to use describing words to make my story exciting. I am so proud that I can use describing words and that I am trying my best. I am proud that my story makes sense. It can be tricky to sound out describing words. The next steps for me might be to read my story again and add more describing words. I could look at pictures for ideas of describing words and read more poems and books.

"Happy is a describing word."

Sounding out words

I am learning to sound out words. I have been listening for the middle sound. I needed to find the missing letter. I know the missing sound because listened to the word and looked at the picture. It was tricky to find the missing sound when it was four letters. I am proud when I make the word.
