We have created zig zag books to re-tell the Creation story using alliteration and as many adjectives as we can and then linked it to our colour-mixing skills with watercolours. We continue to ponder over the power of God and the beauty of the Earth.
We have been exploring pre- history to find out about how the fossil record millions of years ago can explain changes in climate and evolution.
We have made our own fossils from by casting plaster of paris in moulds of seashells pressed into clay.
We had to be paleantologists and “dig out” the fossils we had made from the clay using tools and toothbrushes!
We have investigated different rock characteristics- some rocks are permeable and absorb water.
We have made eerie people in the style of Anthony Gormley.
We have used watercolours to tell the Christian creation story.
We have layered tissue paper to show vents, magma and lava to create volcano pictures in the style of Margaret Godfrey.
The Kingfishers have been finding out about the work of Antony Gormley. They looked at his work ‘Field’.
In groups, they read instructions on how to create their own figures. First they tried with play doh and then they created their finished product with clay. Even though they all started with the same ball of clay and followed the same instructions, each creation is unique!!
We talked about how they all looked when they were lined up together.
What do you think?
Are they: spooky, friendly, haunting, scary, funny?
We have been reading, writing and ordering 2 digit numbers. We are becoming more confident but we don’t always get it right!!Some of us have been setting our own challenges – it was pretty tricky building our own 100 square but we had a good strategy!!
