what a great week we’ve had...the week started by exploring artwork of Cezanne and Van Gogh and trying to imitate their colours and brush strokes. Then we had a mysterious picnic basket appear, it must have been from the main character of our new English traditional tale, ‘The Little Red Hen’. Then we ventured in to the woods to investigate our local woodland habitat (we were even lucky enough to spot a deer). Wednesday, we had grandparents and parents visit us to share their old toys with us. We were able to compare them with our own modern toys. We’ve spent time learning how to use thesauruses and built an adjective vocabulary bank for the animals in our tale. Lastly, but by no means least, we have been using our computer paint package to make repeating patterns in the style of Macintosh (you may see some of these appearing on special cards over the weekend).
