We thought we would share with you today what we have been exploring in our literacy corner, lines!  We began our journey of exploration looking at a story called A Line Can Be…..

We loved using our fingers to follow the lines in the book, developing our descriptive language to describe the different kinds of lines we could see.

We began to explore lines further. We started by using pens and acetate paper to explore what kind of lines we could make. Some of our younger children used their knowledge of shapes whilst mark making.

Some of our older children explored drawing fast and slow, sharing with each other what happened as their pen made lines across the paper.

Others enjoyed exploring the different types of lines they could make.

We even discovered that we could turn our lines  into different shapes to create pictures!

We had so much fun making lines with pens, we decided to explore a different way of making lines, playdough! This time the children were using their knowledge of the different types of lines, using descriptive words to share what they had made with each other. Some children used line templates to imprint into the playdough and some rolled the playdough into different familiar lines.

I wonder what lines we can explore next…..
