In our English reader, The Grumpy Teaspoon, we were reading about Picasso. He was an artist. This is a picture he painted of his friend Dora Maar. Picasso liked to use bright colors, and when he was painting faces, he liked to do so from two points of view – straight and side profile. He often put eyes or lips in the wrong places. We decided to paint portraits just like Picasso. It was great fun.
This week, Brian and Sean brought their pet guinea pig to school. When they told teacher, she thought they were joking!!! When she seen him, she nearly jumped out of her skin!! He had to go and keep Mr. O’Donnell company for the day. Brian and Sean also brought him to visit other classes. Miss Noctor was glad that he got home safely.
Today we were learning all about electricity. We watched some really good videos and played some interactive games. We found learning this way really fun. We now know that electricity is a form of energy and it can do amazing things like light things, heat things and make them move.
