Hedgehogs!
Hedgehog Clay Making
Today, we deepened our knowledge about hedgehogs. We learnt that hedgehogs are nocturnal meaning they are only awake and move around at night time in the dark. Other vocabulary we used included camouflage and predators. I wonder if the children can explain what the hedgehogs have to protect themselves? We then used our D&T skills to create clay hedgehogs. Look at those sharp spines! #LovePlover
We are creators!
Where do we live?
This week we have been looking at a place that is special to us; our homes. We went on a walk around the perimeter of the school to look at the different types of houses we could see. We learnt lots of big words such as: semi detached, bungalow, terrace and flats.
When we got back to the classroom we used our creative skills to paint pictures of our own house. There was some beautiful artwork!

3G Super Sculptors
Over the last few weeks, we have been developing our sculpting skills.
We are using different techniques to create a coil pot in the style of a Roman oil lamp. It is taking a lot of patience and resilience – especially with how quickly the clay dries out!
I can’t wait to see how they turn out!

We are artists.
After learning about the Great Fire of London, 2P developed their art skills so that they could use them to produce a piece of art that is inspired by the fire. We learnt about the primary colours and then mixed them to create the secondary colours. We discussed how colours can evoke feelings of warm and cold and used this to create a sun and moon image using these colours. We then used this knowledge to mix colours to create a background wash that looked like fire and we applied this in layers using sponges. We then used our cutting skills to create a cityscape silhouette to layer onto the background we had painted. We did some brilliant art!
