Amethyst

Welcome back to Spring Term 3, I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas Holiday and would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

This term is all about the 1960’s.

We will be exploring this decade through Art including music and DT.

The children will be finding out about famous icons from the 1960s like The Beatles and will be exploring the artwork of Peter Blake, the artist who designed St Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover back in 1967! We will also be looking at Pop Art and the artist Lichtenstein who will be inspiring us to make cushions with pop art designs.

We will be linking our learning in English and will be reading song lyrics and creating our own. We will be reading the biographies of famous people from the 60s and writing some of our own!

In Maths, we will be focusing on decimals, percentages and algebra.

It is going to be very busy but exciting term for learning in Amethyst Class!
