Fun on Taster Day!

Lots of great self-portraits were created on taster day, in a variety of different styles. Some teachers incorporated writing into the portraits, and others asked the children to write a 'blurb' to accompany their art work. The children were very interested in the artist's work they looked at, and worked very hard to create their own self portraits. I think both children and staff were quite tired by 3 o'clock!


At the end of the day, we were very excited to see a truck bearing huge picnic benches. Asda has very kindly provided us with three fantastic picnic benches for the writing area. As you can see in the photo, the area is really starting to be transformed. The children are going to be so excited tomorrow morning. I think that we'll be using it as an outside classroom, as well as at playtimes and lunchtimes.

I think the writing area is magical! Both my girls love it and have enjoyed the art and literacy week. I think that some mirrors would be fantastic as they would reflect the hard work that has gone into the area. (as well as adding a fairytale touch!) A bird box would welcome the wild back too, my eldest was quite concerned before the area was cleared about the wildlife. :)
