Our SHANARRI blanket!

Mrs O brought in a beautiful patchwork blanket. Each piece was lovely individually but joined with other pieces it made something beautiful and special. We cosied into the blanket and discussed how it made us feel. Safe, warm, relaxed and protected were some of our words. Mrs O compared the patchwork blanket to the well-being indicators – safe, healthy, active, nurtured, achieving, respected, responsible . and included – each aspect important but put together, providing the best for us and all children. We made our own patches displaying the indicators and pieced them together creating a beautiful blanket. The original blanket makes up the centre patch as the inspiration for our creation.

King Tut Art!

We wer We were inspired by Zuzia’s fantastic King Tut symmetry picture. We all tried to create a drawing where one half was a mirror image of the other. We needed to research online and in books to copy the sarcophagus. We then painted it using shiny acrylic paints. We think they look great!
