recently

In y3 we created some Gorgon pictures. We used sharpies for the heads/faces and then blew watered-down paint to represent the writhing and wriggling mass of snakes atop.

 

In y5 we continued along our Green/enhancing the environment theme by painting some small stones.

Meanwhile I've been adapting an old 'farm animal' domino box by installing a simple automaton mechanism. The right-hand side will feature the poseable peg ballerina from a recent post whilst the left will still be a useable space. I'm hoping that the ballerina will rotate!

'Aboriginal' designs

This afternoon we used cotton buds to paint 'Aboriginal' patterns and designs onto stones. The central white 'stripe' is supposed to link them together into a collaborative, 'walkabout' piece.

We got carried away and decorated our sketchbooks.

And a large sheet of 'rock-like' paper.
