levers

Today the y4's started looking at mechanisms. They created moving pictures by utilising a simple lever.

  

Romans and tigers

Y4 made some clay relief sculptures the other day. Using simple rolled slabs they created and assembled shaped pieces to represent Roman legionaries.

Today the y1's drew tigers. They had a go before following step by step instructions to draw several variations.

We then looked at Rousseau's 'Tiger in a Storm' before drawing our own large pictures of a tiger hiding in the long grass.

Have finally got round to making some (rough and ready) mannequin stands to display the Roman costumes from our last Xmas production! They look quite effective lined up in ranks. Now just got to find a suitable place in school to position them.

friends, romans...

Back to school. In y4 the children have started to look at 'The Romans'. Therefore today we constructed legionaries using a simple card template. Each figure stands about 10cm tall and brandishes a thin wooden 'pilum'. They look quite good en masse.
