April Art in Room 5

We are talking a lot about bugs and mini beasts. We have made a wormery. Rory told us that in France people eat snails. I wonder would we think they are delicious? For art today we made racing snails. We made them out of paper and material. They are having a race across the wall of our classroom now. They look great.

Inspired by our 5 healthy caterpillars, we have made wonderful caterpillar paintings. We can't wait to watch the caterpillars turn into butterflies.

We have made lovely bug pictures by painting a pond, a tree and some healthy looking grass. Then we coloured lots of different types of bugs, cut them out and gave them new homes in our paintings.

Healthy Eating

First class have been learning all about fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables help to keep our bodies healthy. We drew pictures of fruit using chalks. We made fruit plates using crepe paper, card and newspaper. We all brought in a fruit and vegetable. Teacher cut them up and we used them to make fruit and vegetable men. It was fun! Teacher made a 'Healthy Eating' display in our classroom.

Aliens and Planets

For the past few weeks, Ms Guckian's class have been learning all about aliens and planets. We read a story in our reader about aliens and decided to make aliens using glue, paper and card. They make our room look colourful. We wondered where the aliens in our reader came from and decided to find out about the planets and the solar system. We made planet mobiles using card, wool and wire hangers. Cian brought in his telescope and we all took turns looking through it.
