Art and Design

This half term in Art and Design we will focus on painting.  We will look at the Japanese artist Hokusai and specifically his work 'The Great Wave.'  We will explore sketching Japanese wave pictures and then move on to colour mixing to enable us to paint our own wave pictures using cool and warm tones.

In science this half term we will be looking at teeth and the digestive system.  The children will identify the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions.  Then they will describe the simple functions of the digestive system in humans.
