This week the children looked at how frames help people to focus on objects in a picture.

They began by talking about The Empty Picture Frame by Rene Magritte. Is it empty? What can you see? Why did he paint it?

As part of the Woodland Trust Green Tree Award, the children made frames from natural materials. They used their frames to frame different object in nature and then took some amazing photographs.

The Orange Class spent a day learning about textiles. They began by drawing different knitted and woven fabrics.

Then they made patterns on material with tie-dye. They scrunched and folded the fabric and fixed it in place with rubber bands. They put it in dye for an hour and after they took the bands off, they found they had created these amazing patterns.

The children learnt how to weave with fabric, wool and ribbon on simple card looms. They made our music trolley beautiful by weaving in and out of the cage!
