“In Art, for our starter we were trying to draw a lion picture that was up on the board. Then when we went down to the art room and we drew the lion in pencil, apart from the mane. Then we got felt tips and we drew the mane and then we coloured in the face using cold and warm colours. We used them for tone, to show light and dark bits. Then we added black as a background.” Charlotte

“In Writing, we were writing limericks. It’s a funny, short poem and normally it makes no sense. The first two lines rhyme, then the next two make a different rhyme and the last one follows the first rhyme.

We wrote a class one:

There once was a man from Peru,

Who was chased by a coo called moo,

He ran and he ran,

And he tripped on a can,

Luckily moo stopped for the loo.” Ross G

We started by getting into a line, running round cones and then passing on a baton. Then we did the same, but just before we passed the baton the other person started running. Lastly, we played rounders.” Charlotte

“In Art with Mrs Hutchison we were practising creating different textures with paint. We had to use lots of different brushes, like a flat bristled brush for spiky textures and a round bristled brush for fluffy textures. We used these techniques to make animals, by doing some textures and then using a finer brush to add details.” Becki
