infestation

The clay ants have escaped from the classroom and are trying to find a way out of the building!

 

They've been blu-tacked onto the wall of the stairwell and have caused several folk to do a double take!

A mini-beast day today. In FS2 we made spiders from pipecleaners and wool which we then painted. We also created butterflies in the old traditional way - paint one half, fold the paper, rub, open back out and hey presto! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Y2 we painted the ants we made from clay last week. It was tricky getting into all the nooks and crannies but when they're displayed en-masse they should look terrific.

 

 

 

sunflowers & clay

In FS2 today we painted sunflowers. Using glue spreaders and thick paint we created an abundance of petals.

 

Love the thick textures on this one - very reminiscent of van Gogh!

 



We finger-printed the seeds.

 



 

And this is what we ended up with.

 

 In Y2 following on from the spider sketches we did last week we were again in mini-beast mode - creating insects from clay, matchsticks & pipecleaners.
