We have studied work by the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He used fruit and vegetables when painting portraits. We used vegetables to create faces and then painted fruit and vegetable faces in the same style as the artist.

The class had a great time making scones this week. We hope you enjoyed them at home. The children had a great time exploring our topic including making artwork out of vegetables in the style of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. This term our topic is Ready, Steady, Cook! We had a fun engage day making fruit skewers, rolling and chopping playdough, peeling and grating carrots and drawing our favourite fruits and vegetables. Kingfishers have been exploring Devon's countryside and farmland through art. They used pastels to create a continuation picture.
Swans class visited Ilfracombe Aquarium. We enjoyed walking around and listening to Laurence talk about the different sea creatures. We loved it when he fed the fish in the harbour tank and they came up very close to us. Kingfishers had a brilliant time exploring the sea creatures at Ilfracombe Aquarium. In science, we are finding out about animals, including humans. This week we were totally engrossed in investigating what animals eat and whether they are a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. How did we find out what animals ate? Well we investigated their 'poo'! This is what we found out - "Poo A - It's a herbivore, that must be the caterpillar's poo!", " Poo B has 'meat in it and feathers - that's is the hawk, it is a carnivore." "Poo C has blackberries, seeds, caterpillars and flies in it - yuck! That's the robin, it eats everything - it's an omnivore!" Swans love going to the park for their weekly tennis lesson with Gary. Kingfishers explored the song Mbube (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) by Soweto Gospel Choir, we discussed the song and then explored our song - Hands, Feet and Heart using our voices and the glockenspiels. "I like the song, I recognise the chorus!"
