In our D&T this half term, we have been looking specifically at food technology. We created smoothies for our adults at home to come in and try! We practiced our safe cutting skills and all the children decided all the ingredients in their individual smoothies!
World Book Day 2024 - the children all look amazing in their book character costumes!
In Art, we have been looking a the artist Paul Klee. He creates abstract work including these landscapes. We observed that his work uses lots of bright colours, shapes and each piece has a circular sun or moon in it. The children created their own Paul Klee inspired landscape then we used scrunching and layering techniques to collage on them to give a colourful abstract look. As you can see by the pictures below, they have been very successful!
In Science, we have been looking at prey and predators and how they use their senses to survive and hunt! Today we used our senses to explore a possible snack as if we were animals in the wild!
In Art, we have been looking at the skill of collage. We had a go at layering and scrunching!
