The children firstly practiced mixing colours for their colour wheel. Then they chose a butterfly to paint and these are the results. There are some lovely combinations of colours. All representing real butterflies from tropical rainforests around the world. They chose their own butterfly to study and paint learning more about them as they create.
Discovering Discovering colours
The children have been exploring using oil pastels and watery paint the children have made their own wheat fields and thought about how we get our food. What we can make from wheat? How do we share our food?
….in our next piece of work the children were thinking about the shape of a hedgehog and where it lives. We know hedgehogs make their homes in leaves and long grasses or under wood for shelter. Most hedgehogs hibernate for the winter.
P4/7 pupils from Dunrossness have their drawings displayed in the Shetland Museum as part of a series of displays on the Tall Ships. There are some amazing drawings to see. Why not go along and see for yourself.
The children have researched and selected one of the venue ports of Den Helder in Holland, Hartlepool in N England, Fredrichstad in Norway, Ardenal in Norway and Lerwick in Shetland -to make a drawing of a local landmark. After this they have worked in groups to make a European map of the race route.
Ayander and Dylan have finished first I will post a picture next week. Well done.
They have drawn the shape of the Arctic Tern then used felt pens to highlight the key features.
