This week we have been learning about William Morris. We did some research for our home learning and looked at a PowerPoint about his life. We found out that he was a designer and that he made stain glass windows, tapestries and wall paper prints. We looked at some of his designs and shared our thoughts and opinions on them. Lots of us liked his wall paper because it uses different colours and patterns.
We took his print 'The Strawberry Thief' as a starting point and did lots of different activities related to this across the week. In welcome we used watercolour pencils to draw birds, flower, leaves and strawberries and in Art we created our own polystyrene printing tiles. We used rollers to cover our tiles in different colour inks and then printed them multiple times to create our own William Morris wall paper. Mrs O thought they were fantastic and has taken some to put on the display in the hall!
On Tuesday it was Safer Internet Day. We talked about how to stay safe online and what to do if we have a problem. We learn't a song to help us make sensible choices when using the internet:
'Before you click, click, click,
You need to think, think, think
and TELL someone.'
Next week is half term, we hope everybody has a lovely break and we look forward to seeing which of the '33 things you can do outside' you manage to do. Have fun and stay safe!
