Art Lesson

In Art P5 have been learning about the artist Eric Carle and trying to create mini beasts using his textures collage technique.

First, we researched and designed our mini beast before deciding on a shape.

We then explored paint and used different applicators to create different textures.

The following week we cut shapes, layered and collaged to create our mini beast.

To finish them off we used pipe cleaners and oils pastels.

Great work P5!

Visit to Taing House – Inter-Generational Activity

We visited Taing House Day Care on Friday.  We were invited along to make garden ornaments with the service users.  We chose our equipment and created our own tin person.  We met new people and family members and enjoyed juice and biscuits too!  We focused on our communication and creativity meta skills.  It was fun!  As a thank you, we wrote letters to Mrs Friedlander and her team.  We’ve been invited back, hopefully leading up to Christmas time.  We’re looking forward to that.
