During outdoor classroom day, P4M and P4B worked together in small groups to create a piece of art. Each group was given a card with a photograph of either an animal or bird from around the Ochils and River Forth. We then had to use natural resources to create our own pictures of the wildlife.

In our groups we explored the playground, and found natural resources including leaves, sticks, flowers and berries to create our wildlife pictures. It was tricky to find all of the right colours to match to the photographs.

Then we worked together to decide the best way of creating our pictures. We placed the leaves on the paper and tried to decide how we should use them.

When we were happy with them we glued them on and used pens to add detail. Here are some of the finished pictures, don’t they look brilliant?

We have been learning how to use speech marks in our writing. We will continue to practise this and challenge ourselves by using more interesting words than said.

Here are some photos of us learning about speech marks.
