This week is arts week and our learning will follow an arts theme.

• In mathematics we will look at symmetry in 2d shapes.
• In English we will base our work on Little People Big Dreams, Jean-Michel Basquiat by Maria Isabella Sanchez  Vegara. We will explore the book using drama and then create posters and newspaper articles based on the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
• In music we will look at the music of Puerto Rico to reflect Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Puerto Rican heritage. We will follow a similar theme in dance in PE.
• In RE we will be working on entries to the Spirited Arts competition. We will plan and create a piece of art based on the theme “Searching for God.”  We will also create an accompanying piece of writing.
