Sorting materials

The children really enjoyed talking about and sorting different materials in the classroom.

Great Fire of London paintings

The children worked really hard to mix the colours to create a realistic fire backdrop. We talked about how we can use different brush stroke to create different effects. Stage two was to create the silhouette. I was amazed by the fantastic cutting and design ideas. Well done everybody!

Last week, we looked at lots of pictures of the houses from 1666. We closely observed the features and discussed the differences from modern day houses.

Well done everybody!
