recent stuff

Back to school after the half term. The FS1 display - 'People Who Help Us' - continues to grow steadily. Out of shot is a lighthouse and an air/sea rescue helicopter.

 

 

In y2 today we drew owls - the children have started to learn about nocturnal animals. We used both a rectangle and an 'egg' as starting points and added texture/patterns to our sketches. I gave them a simple step by step guide and they drew some wonderful birds.

Have recently been tinkering around with birds (!), particularly owls, based on squares. I quite like the simplicity and the end result. I think that these might look good as small pen & ink studies or thumbnail size collages. Might give it a go, tho' it's report writing season in teacher-land at the moment.
