Today the children are having fun learning about silhouettes “a shape or outline in a block colour with no detail but you can still recognise what it is”. The children had a look at some silhouettes on the board and then we were ready to create our own.
We chose one of the children to draw around . “Look how big I am”. The children were very careful using the scissors to cut around our silhouette. Some of the children wanted to draw around their own hands to make silhouettes. We then used black paint to cover our silhouette. The children worked very well together choosing different parts of the body to paint and sharing the brushes and paint.
We then played a great guessing game using animal silhouettes . What do you think it is? “ a snake.” We learned new words today and had great conversations about body parts, animals and silhouettes. We are going to continue looking at silhouettes – look out for our silhouette creations!
As we are now entering a colder period of weather and that we need to keep windows open for ventilation, the children do need warm clothing. Please can children come with a cosy jumper or a fleece to keep them warm indoors as well as when they go outside with their jacket on. Please also pop gloves and a cosy hat in your child’s bag so that they can have this when they need it.
