Creative/fun task!

Make your own piece of Art using food. This does not need to be wasteful, you can use leftovers or make a something artistic out of food and then eat it! Ask an adult’s permission before doing any of this! Post your pictures on Twitter!

Ideas…you could use…

An old tea bag to stain your paper

Paint with tomato ketchup/mustard/soy sauce/coffee.

Use pasta and lentils for texture.

P3 created some fantastic food art pieces yesterday  so lets join them and share our pictures on twitter or send them via the school email.

Have Fun!

Miss Swift

Good morning P5A!
