This week we have all enjoyed recording different sound bites for our poetry session with Stan’s Café. We have been thinking about different animals and thinking about the sorts of things we might say or ask them, if we were to meet them. We worked in pairs and small groups to record different sound bites which will all be used in our production.
This week we have enjoyed visual arts with Denise! We had a carousel of different activities to learn and practise new art skills and techniques.
The activities were; cutting out green warts ready for our frog costumes, working with Denise to create a magical sun flower for our set, making templates for butterflies, and printing some labels for special sacks!
This week Year 1 have been working very hard to create props for their performance with Stan’s café. They have been cutting, printing, drawing and helping to design the items that will be used in their part of the performance. They have all worked really hard and as you can see, they have all had a great time. Well done Year 1!
We really enjoyed our dance session today. After a very energetic warm up, we enjoyed passing a ball around our bodies and onto the next person. We then rolled a dice to see which of our body parts would lead us around the room and into different spaces. When the music stopped, we created freeze-frames where that body part was touching a mark on the floor. We were fantastic at making interesting shapes.
We then started to think about the different animals body parts and how they move. We decided that butterflies fly gracefully, frogs use their back legs to jump high, and that their long tongues flick out quickly. Foxes creep and swish their tales and duck’s tails make them waddle. The final step was to decide on three moves that each animal makes and to practice them in groups. We can’t wait to perform!
Today was our first session working with Charlie. We were very excited to find lots of different cuddly toy animals in the special bag. We talked about the features of the different animals and then wowed our teachers with our amazing adjectives.
Mrs Gordon’s favorite ones were ‘tickly, wickly’ ‘enormous, glowing’ and ‘bright, twinkling’. Can you guess which body parts the children were talking about?
Unfortunately the camera broke but look out for photos of next weeks activities
Today was the first time we worked with Stan’s Cafe. We worked with artist Denise and we thought about different animals; fox, frog, butterfly, duck and human. We thought about the senses the different animals had and their features.
We then had a go at drawing the features of these animals in small groups. We looked closely at pictures of each animals eyes, ears, nose and mouths. With the butterfly, we learnt that they use their antennae to help them feel the world around them!
When we had finished our drawings, we experimented with foam. We cut our foam into the shapes of the features. It was lots of fun trying to cut things into the correct shape and the foam was very easy to work with.
Next week we will start making large versions of the features that we will use in our performance.
We have enjoyed our first dance session with Stan’s café. We have been looking at the different parts of the body and the way we can move them. We have also been looking at different animals and the way they move.
