Marina Ester Castaldo is an Italian artist who lives in London. She was born and raised in Naples and is influenced by the warm weather, hospitality of people, barren nature and the contrasting, strong colours of the area. She is fascinated by nature and the emotions that people feel but do not show. She describes her art as spontaneous and natural. She is constantly changing and adapting her style and art process.
Ms DenBak chose this artist because she loves the amount of colour Marina uses in her work and find her art very calming. The perspective she uses and layering of colour and texture is interests Ms DenBak. She can't wait to see how her class will be inspired by Marina's work!
Homework
Children will be given a list of Spellings every Monday which need to be learnt for the following Monday.
Reading is also very important. We encourage children to read with an adult as often as possible. Please sign the reading record when you read with your child/children.
Please see the home procedures for your children's year group.
Library
We have an exciting bus library with many interesting books. Children will visit once a week and will be encouraged to borrow books.
PE
Physical Education takes place twice a week. It is very important that PE kits are kept in school at all times. Please mark each item clearly - that includes plimsolls as it can quite difficult for your child to find them when they are all changing at once.
More information about what your child is learning in school can be found on the curriculum map
