Art & Design - Sculpture

In Art, we have been preparing to create our own memory museums, starting with analysing how art can explore the concept of self. We have also been discussing the approach of different artists, such as Louise Nevelson and Joseph Cornell, and considering how this may influence our own work. Stay tuned to see our beautiful creations this term!

The parents, feeling as though they have no other choice, decide to abandon their children in the forest. Rest assured, the main plot remains intact - the children stumble upon a gingerbread house in the woods and encounter the wicked witch, who still harbours her nefarious plans to consume Hansel!

Maths - Statistics

We have been interpreting and constructing pie charts and line graphs before using these to solve problems. We have also been calculating and interpreting the mean as an average
