Our hens

On Thursday we painted hens! We used a few different browns to create shadow. Then we painted the beak and legs. We blended pastels to create the background.

This little hen....

This week we wrote poems about hens in a farm which were different colours and liked to do different things. We then illustrated our poems using watercolour pencils and used water to paint.

Boss Parrot Prints

Last week in Art we learnt how to do printing. We made a template from cardboard, then had to roll paint on the template and print onto coloured paper. They worked out quite well for our first try!


Term 2 Week 3 Excellence Award

Well done to Frank who is growing in his confidence to use English at school.

Making Smoothies

Last week we researched on the internet how to make a smoothie. We had to invent our own recipes. We had to include a banana to thicken our smoothie. Some recipes had marshmallows, chocolate Nesquik, canned strawberries and milk. Yummy!

BFG Dream Jars

This term we are reading the BFG by Roald Dahl as our class novel. We made dream jars for the BFG to add to his collection. The BFG blows dreams into children's bedrooms through a trumpet-like instrument.
