I love friday afternoons when the children can do lots of creative 'theme' work!
Over the last two weeks the year 1 children have used class 1's outside area and
covered sheets of paper with watery glue and then sprinkled sand on them
to replicate the wall of a cave! 

The following friday having looked at real cave paintings and having read the story
 'The First Drawing' by Mordicai Gerstein, they painted on the walls of their caves.

The results were brilliant! They looked so realistic!

They painted woolly mammoths and other animals and in some instances
added hand prints to their paintings!

They made patterns and marks just like the little boy in the story.
They used the natural colours that the little boy used.

The rest of us were learning how to draw woolly mammoths using thick pencils or charcoal,

The results were amazing!
Well done Class 2 - lots of great artists in the making!!!

Looking forward to this friday .......
