KS1 Artists

We are so proud of the artwork produced by the children in KS1 during this terms expedition. The children put lots of effort into their work. First the children sketched their animal. Then they painted the background and their chosen animal using watercolour paints. Next they edged their painting with water colour pencils and finally they embellished their picture using collage skills. It was lovely to spend quality time with the children teaching them the different skills required to produce their artwork. The children completed each stage in small groups which gave us a lovely opportunity to spend time together chatting away as we spent hours building up our pictures over the past few weeks! The children have demonstrated a lot of pride in their work and so they should! The results are fabulous.

We are so proud of you all and hope your artwork will remind you of all the fabulous memories made during our expedition this term.

Please take a photograph of yourself with your framed artwork and email them to your class teacher! We can’t wait to see where you put them!

KS1’s scaly, furry and hissing visitors!

As part of our Presentation of Learning last Friday we had a visit from Reptile Rendezvous who brought some of the creatures we have been learning about, and who’s survival depends on how we treat our world. We were able to handle some of the animals including a huge python and some beautiful lizards. We fed a meerkat chicken and gave Stinkabelle the skunk some of her favourite cat treats!

Meeting these gorgeous creatures up close really made us realise how we much we need to protect them.
