Down in Primary 2/1 we have been embracing all things autumnal. We all decided that it was our favourite season where we can wrap up warm, drink hot chocolate, go trick or treating on Halloween and most of all look at all the wonderful colours that autumn produces.
We have spent some time outside going on a autumn walk to collect lots of natural materials so we can produce some ‘transient art’. This means art that can move around. We had lots of fun using our imagination to make pictures and then using our ICT skills to take the perfect picture with the ipad. Here are some examples of our work.
We had lots of leaves left over so we decided to make some leaf people, we added eyes, arms and legs. They look super cute!
We spent some time investigating the leaves and looking at the patterns of their tiny veins. We painted them and printed them onto paper using autumnal colours and we also used crayons to create a leaf rubbing pictures.
At the moment our favourite story is The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We are enjoying using our new puppet theater to retell the story using all the different voices of the characters in our own words. We love how the book rhymes too. We made a Gruffalo tuff tray too so we can act out the story with all the characters and make up our own stories too, we even added some new characters. We especially love the snake and his log pile house.
