A Squash and a Squeeze

Year 1 have been working on an extended piece of 3D art work with Ann and Carina. 

This supports the learning Year 1 have been doing  this term around their core book, A Squash and a Squeeze.

The children made houses for the old lady in the story and had to go through many different stages .

First they practised their colour mixing skills to paint the outside walls.

Next they printed the front of the house using polytiles.

 They made their own patterned wall paper, with repeating patterns.

   Then they used clay to model animals for their houses.

Finally, they made carpets and furnishings for the inside so their characters could be comfortable.

Our Local Area

As part of our topic on the local area, Sapphire and Silver classes used our sketching, painting, printing and photography skills to create our own Columbia Road!

First we went on a walk to sketch the buildings and features of the local area.

Then we made our own buildings, using colour mixing and printing to make them look real.

We took photos of each other and thought about how we wanted to look. Can you tell what some of us are doing or how we are feeling?
