We have talked about the Easter Story. We made Easter books and cards, painted and printed pictures and crosses. We hunted outside for hidden Easter pictures and we asked our friends about their favourite Easter treats. We rolled eggs down the hill.

During Art Week we created lots of portraits. Have a look at our clay faces.

22nd March 2018

We have been looking at how our bodies work and how to keep ourselves healthy. We investigated a skeleton and looked at the inside of our bodies. We prepared some healthy food, we created an obstacle course and started our regular Daily Mile.

07th February 2018

An egg appeared in our field. We have been investigating the egg. We visited the egg and made x-ray glasses to examine it. We created eggs by painting, drawing and using our cutting, joining and collage skills. We kept an eye on the egg from the hide that we built. We imagined what might be inside the egg.

This half term we have been learning how to use our art area. We have explored colour mixing with powder paints and printing.

8th September 2017

We have enjoyed our first week in Firecrest class. We have been busy exploring our classrooms, the outside meadow space and the atelier. We have experimented with some mark making, dressing up, role-play and baked in the mud kitchen. We have also played in the sand and water. It has been a very busy week.
