Spring Term 2014

Welcome to 2014!

Our new topic for this term will be 'Blitz', a history themed study into the impact of the Blitz upon Swansea and Cardiff as well as cities around Britain and Europe. We will also look at the impact of the war on Llanharan. We would love to hear any stories of people who lived through Llanharan during the war. (It would be even better if some people could come into to share their memories with us!)

Our author focus is Michael Morpurgo and in particular the novel Friend or Foe.

Our numeracy focus is going to be on Financial Literacy.

PE will take place on Thursdays and we will be working on PESS gymnastics module 3 Unit 14 - the family of skills associated with the forward roll.

Gallery - Auction: The results

Our art Gallery topic culminated in an auction of produced art pieces to Year 3/4 and Reception. The winning group was Seurat who made a £142 profit on their valuations. Second was Gormley with a profit of £114. The Matisse group made a £111 profit whilst the Warhol group made a £56 profit.

Below are the profit/loss sheets.

1. Seurat
2. Gormley
3. Matisse
4. Warhol

Art: Gallery - The Auction

Here are the 24 items that have been produced by the four art groups ready for today's auction. The groups were given an artist to take as inspiration for their artwork who were: Antony Gormley, Henri Matisse, Georges Seurat and Andy Warhol. The groups produced their pieces and then they peer valued the items and chose two per group that would have a reserve price. Year 3/4 are to be given £100 Llanharan pounds each to purchase the items at auction with Years 1/2 and Reception being given £100 per class to purchase an item. The groups then will have to work out the profit/loss earned against the valuations.
