Happy Halloween! 🎃

P4.1 have been learning to use different media with increasing control. For a few weeks, we focussed on drawing creatively and adding lots of detail to our pictures. We previously drew a beautiful Winter scene for our Christmas card. For Halloween, we studied the significance of Sugar Skulls in Mexico and talked about the detail that can be added to them.  Afterwards, we used oil pastels to bring our skulls to life with colour! Oil pastels need to be used with the right amount of pressure to get a good coverage. We also explored how we can layer and blend with oil pastels.  They all turned out beautiful in their own way. We LOVE our work and we hope you do too!

On the day of Halloween, we recapped some French vocabulary that we had been exploring in one of our independent-working areas.

We used some of the vocabulary to read and understand a French poem. In lessons, we gave been learning about how French adjectives come after the noun. For example, un chat noir is a black cat. 🐈‍⬛ We then had to colour the Halloween pictures correctly, recognising if they were masculine or feminine words and how this can change the spelling of the adjective.

We finished the day off with some Halloween fun! 🎃🧡  We shared some good Halloween jokes, took turns to go Boo-ling with some cute ghosts and cheered each other on as we went dooking for apples 🍎
