Hiya Kea Class

Dear Kea Class,
 I'm writing to you from home. I'm getting much better every day now and hoping to be back for a visit perhaps on Wednesday and perhaps back to the classroom on Friday. Its not been the easiest time but i'm looking forward to getting back. I here you are having lots of fun with Mrs Wallis and my girls told me all about your assembly which they loved! I have at last updated your mathletics homework so there is now more available to do. I am sure you have been kept busy anyway. Keep working hard and behaving well and I will look forward to seeing you all very soon.

War Horse Art Project Day

Tomorow is a special start to finish day to complete your ww1/ war horse / courage montages!
Here is a copy of the task;

To design an A3 Montage with the theme of Courage as depicted in the Book War horse. Montage must include;
  • 3-5  black/white static images from WW1 which could be taken as a scene from war horse.
  • Quotes from Warhorse which represent courage being shown by some characters in the book and which could relate to the static images you have chosen.
  • A colour scheme no more than 2 with the addition of gold/silver. Colour could be added with the aid of colour splash (IPAD) or fotoflexor(LAPTOPS) to images you have chosen to emphasise the courage theme., as well as through additional materials.
  • The words COURAGE and WARHORSE must appear on the montage.
  • Your montage must be 3d in its appearance using a variety of materials which are representative of the time and theme. (see my example above for ideas)
