HUGE pop-up book

In FS2 they've been learning all about Noah and his ark. To help with their retelling of the story I've created a monster pop-up book using their illustrations of pairs of animals. The book opens out to reveal a (very!) long line of creatures filing into the ark. 

At the end the back covers open out to reveal the ark after the storm. A quick bit of 'tucking the front cover away' then allows for the animals to appear as if they are then leaving! 

The whole thing extends to over 10 metres and is still very much a 'rough' at the moment. I'll get the children to help me polish it next week.

Noah's ark

In FS2 today we made representations of Noah's Ark. We made them double-sided so that they both rocked AND could show the 40 days/nights of rain and the brightening skies. This is the quick one I mocked up to show the children - the treasury tag stops it from splaying out too much!

rain

Our y2's are learning about 'weather' so today we looked at several artworks. We discussed a japanese print, a Van Gogh drawing, a constable oil study and a contemporary work by Alexander Millar. From these we then had a go at drawing our own comparative pictures - one showing a fine , sunny day and one showing a miserable, grey, rainy day.

Inspired by the Millar painting ("singin' in the rain") I managed a quick doodle.
