This term we will be exploring making artwork using a variety of different methods and materials, focussing on… Mixed Media!
Know what that is? You will by the end of this course.
Interested? I think it could be quite challenging but that all depends on YOU!!!

This class is for:
Year 7-9’s
Students who want to learn about art.
Students who want to challenge themselves.

You will need a 1A8 unruled exercise book or scrapbook, (or similar).
Be prepared to clean up after mahi.
No phones or devices needed. This is a practical class.

We will look to develop skills, strategy and knowledge around multiplication this term. For some students this will be a focus on learning how to skip count in 2's, 5's and 10's, and the relationship between skip counting and times tables/division facts. For others, there will be more of a focus on learning the times tables basic facts off by heart, practising using these in meaningful contexts and beginning to develop knowledge around how to use the written method to solve multiplication problems with bigger numbers.

We will find out about some of the significant artists and art movements that have influenced how we see our world, explore the styles and techniques they used to create their art works and experiment with making our own art works. There will be lots of opportunities for rich discussion as we consider what is art? Why do humans through time and across cultures feel the need to make it? What do people use art for? What are our own opinions about the different styles of art we see?

In workshops, students will create planned reports for creating reports that respond to their learning about Climate Change and ways they can impact the world positively.

They will look at historical reasons for climate change and the science beyond this event/events.

Stage 7 Unit 1-4

Students through small targetted workshops covering a range of activities will participate in building strong phonological awareness skills that can be utilised in decoding and encoding words.

This will be augmented with daily use of STEPWISE to support development.

Stage 6 (inclu +4, 5)

Students through small targetted workshops covering a range of activities will participate in building strong phonological awareness skills that can be utilised in decoding and encoding words.

This will be augmented with daily use of STEPWISE to support development.

Children will use skills and strategies learnt to decode text with fluency during 3 weekly instructional reading sessions that support skills learnt in structured literacy workshops.

Turquoise reading skills and strategies students will develop:

Students will use independent reading skills, where they apply the strategies they have learned. They will read a self-chosen novel in EPIC books and each week work on three responses to this novel.

Through these strategies, students will use level 4 skills to:

Select and use a range of processing and comprehension strategies; re-checking, re-reading, predicting cross-text meaning, and inferring.
Integrate information and prior knowledge with developing confidence.
Identify main and subsidiary ideas making connections in texts.
