Week beginning 10th February
In one of our maths lessons, we looked at the impact of zero in multiplication and division equations, investigating how many ways we could complete the following equations, using digit cards 0-9.
Continuing our study of the Romans, we looked at four different styles of houses during Roman Britain: Roundhouse, villa, insulae and domus. Although the Romans built up towns in Britain, the majority of people still lived in the countryside. The poorer people continued to live in Celtic-style roundhouses, while richer people lived in spacious and comfortable villas with courtyards, servant quarters and sometimes underfloor heating! In towns, many lived in apartment-style blocks with richer citizens residing in large, single-story houses around an atrium.
In Art this week, we transformed our ‘drawing with scissors’ collages into expressive, abstract drawings working on wax and paint surfaces which we created in the previous lesson. We used drawing techniques, like hatching, to scratch interesting marks and patterns into the paint, revealing the bright, wax crayon below. Look how fabulous they turned out...
