Beautiful Snow Scenes
As part of our “Winter” topic, the children spent some time looking at different photos of winter, before creating their own winter scene using paint and tin foil.
Exploring the snow!
On Monday, Hedgehog Class had a great time outside in the snow. We were exploring different ways of melting snow and ice. We learnt that for water to freeze, the temperature must be below 0°c. We used our hands, warm water, salt, paint, washing up liquid and soap to find out what melted the ice and snow the fastest.
Art – Clay Self Portraits
In our Art lessons we have been learning about self-portraits. We have practised different sketching and painting skills and to finish off our unit last term we created self-portraits in clay. We had to think carefully about the techniques we used to create detail in our faces!
