On the last day of term we had a special Antarctica themed day. Most of this day was spent painting. We began by experimenting with painting techniques e.g. finger painting, dabbing with sponges, applying paint with brushes... The students also had to experiment with colour mixing. Initially they were only given blue, black and white and had to mix these colours to create a variety of shades. After experimenting time, each student was given a fresh piece of paper to draw a chalk outline of Antarctic penguins. They then had to use their three colours (and orange for beaks and feet) to mix, blend and create a painted penguin.
This Blog is a diary of all the things we get up to in our very busy classroom. It is an opportunity for family and friends to be completely involved in the learning that we do every day and it is a great place for us to add learning links that can be useful at home. We hope you enjoy our site, feel free to become a follower and visit us regularly as we update at least twice a week. We also welcome your comments.
