Cromer Bubble’s Monday Blog, 1st February, 2021
Good Morning Cromer Bubble,

PE: Home PE Battleships Level 2 and Blast Off! More great fun!
Music (Signed Performance): Create a signed song.
Objectives:
- Compose and perform melodic signed song.
- Create signed movements that communicate meaning and emotion of verses and chorus.
In previous weeks, we have studied how performers sign songs rhythmically with hands, bodies and expressions in order to communicate a message. This week, you will choose a song of your own and create signed movements of your own to effectively convey the message of the song.
You can perform the song to an adult or sibling. Alternatively, ask an adult to film it and send it to me!

Computing: Touch Typing
Children will continue to brush up on their touch typing skills – this will be invaluable to them as they move forward in their education. Typing at speed will really set them up well for all those assignments they’ll need to write in secondary school!
Go to this website: https://www.typingclub.com/
It’s an absolutely brilliant way of learning to touch type by having fun. Many of you have tried it before and you love it so – enjoy!
RE: In this lesson, we will explore how we should treat people and reflect on our own views. We will also consider how Christians and non-religious people think we should treat people. Read through the lesson and complete the tasks on this worksheet. You will also need the story of the Good Samaritan during the lesson:

Art (Who was Piet Mondrian? )
Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) was a Dutch artist who remains well known for his abstract paintings, many of which use squares and rectangles. In 1917, he was part of a group of four Dutch artists called ‘De Stijl’ who all worked in an abstract style and reduced their paintings to straight lines, plane surfaces, rectangles and primary colours combined with black, grey and white. Mondrian’s designs have been used as inspiration for fashion, including six cocktail dresses designed by the famous designer Yves St Laurent, in 1965
Watch youtube clip for a quick summary of Mondrian’s style. Then go through Tate presentation:

POP tasks
Give an example of how Mondrian’s use of media and materials has led to his art being used by a fashion designer.
Why did Mondrian use strips of transparent paper? What other materials did Mondrian use and how did he use them?
Why is Mondrian’s painting Composition C with Red, Yellow and Blue typical of his style?
Describe how Mondrian thought about his choice and location of colour.
What important effects did Mondrian try to create with his artwork?
Which two features did Mondrian continually explore with his designs?
What changes did he make to the lines he used within his designs?
I hope you get on well with this week’s work. If you have any problems, please email me m.nordloh@gf.kwestacademy.com and I will do what I can to help.
Please keep in touch and send me photos of your work.
Take care and stay safe.
