Our crew have been following instructions in our writing experience lessons to create artwork to supplement their writing. We listened carefully how to draw our own cat. The cat was trying to catch the egg! But the egg shouted……. We can’t wait to write about it! Dom was our writing superstar the previous lesson when the dog chased the egg!
Today we used out DT skills to cut and chop vegetables for our couscous salad. We enjoyed tasting it too! 🫑🥒🍋
This afternoon we have been practising our cutting skills whilst making a couscous salad.
Crew Marsh loved creating artwork using nature… look at our smiley faces!
Today, we had a super exciting visit from Ian the farmer! Ian brought lots of his animals with him, and we got to stroke them, ask questions about them, and we even fed them some carrots! We loved seeing all of the different animals as part of our hook day ready for Case Study 3 – What happens to creatures as they grow? We learnt all about the names of the animals, what their babies are called, and how Ian looks after them on the farm.
Today we have started our first draft of our artwork for our final product. To say these are our first drafts we are very proud of our beautiful work already! We had three groups: some children decided to draw a mic with the help of Miss Taylor (to represent MLKs speech) which was for children less confident with art, the next group worked step by step with me to draw George Floyd and the last group lead their own learning by pushing for 4 and challenged themselves to follow an online tutorial drawing Martin Luther King.
MI have shown such resilience and determination today during our art sessions. We finally learnt and started to understand that art is a long process and we need to ensure we take our time to ensure we create quality pieces. MI have certainly shown this today. We have used a step by step process to create our Martin Luther King Jr images and children were super proud at the end of the day. We will just add further sketching techniques tomorrow to finish off our creations. We will then move onto looking at Rosa Parks 🙂 Great work MI!
Today, we had a very exciting visit from Ian’s Farm! He told us lots of interesting information about the animals and he let us stroke them which we loved! We told Ian everything we already knew about the animals he had brought in, and we enjoyed listening to him tell us even more facts that we can use in our new case study. Ian also brought his sheepdog Meg who was the best behaved dog we have ever met – we want our own dog for school now, I wonder if Mrs Atherton will let us get one?! Ian told us about the commands we could use to control what Meg was doing and we practiced using them, but we weren’t as good as Ian. We had the chance to brush the donkeys and goats, and some of us played fetch with Meg on the field. We had so much fun! Thank you so much for a brilliant morning, Ian!
