For Expressive Arts we have recently been focusing on Drawing. We have discussed the different types of lines that we can draw such as straight, wavy, curved or zig zag and also discussed that lines can be different lengths. We have been developing our pencil control by ensuring our lines are neat.

We started off by just demonstrating our skills. We then used these skills to design a t-shirt using lines to make our t-shirt unique to us.

We then created self-portraits and thought about all the different types of lines we would need to use to draw ourselves. We did this very carefully and even used the mirrors in class to ensure our self-portraits were as accurate as we could make them.

As part of Road Safety Week our Junior Road Safety Officers visited our class to speak to us about road safety. We went down to the cycle track on a very wet Thursday afternoon and practised cross the road under the guidance of the JRSOs.

We also played a game of ‘Spot the Dangers’ by exploring a picture of a busy street and then designed our own posters with the aim of sharing the message ‘Let’s Talk about Speed.’

We have started practising for our Nativity and have heard all of the songs. We have lots still to do and have started discussing parts with an aim to share lines with everyone next week 🙂
