Today, KS1 have been busy being artists, as they start to create their sculptures. This will be part of the finished product for our expedition – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
We have created the jellyfish body using recycled materials and mod-roc.
Today we continued our expedition lessons by looking at tool safety and thinking about some of the equipment and materials we will use to create our photo frames. We all had a go at using a saw to cut a piece of wood. We then used sand paper to ensure the sides of our wood were smooth. We also used wood glue to join some of the wood together. We evaluated the process thinking about praises, notices and wonders. We are all looking forward to creating our own photo frames during the rest of the week.
Crew MI started case study three today in their expedition learning. Today we thought more about our final product and how we want this to look. We started our first draft designing our photo frame. We thought about the measurements needed and angles of each corner. We also thought about decorations we may add to our designs. Towards the end of the lesson we all took part in a gallery walk where we had a look at everyone else’s work. We thought about if the designs were fit for purpose and if measurements would work. We offered some critique around praises, notices and wonders. We will be building on this tomorrow.
Crew Godley and Crew Longley developed their artistic skills today to highlight the importance of recycling our plastic to ensure it does not end up in the Oceans. We were fascinated to observe the Marina Trench and the impact of pollution on the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean. We used multi media to create art work to show the impact of pollution on the marine life.
A fantastic first day back. The crews have settled back in really well and worked hard to produce beautiful work today.
We have continued learning about our expedition The Circle of Life: How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
The crews have been thinking about the changing seasons by producing some beautiful art work.
Well done!
