Nursery/Reception - Diwali Lamps

"We warmed up the clay."
"We rolled the clay into a ball."

"We pushed our thumb into the ball to make a hole."

"We pinched the top of the clay to make the hole bigger."
"We put a candle into the hole to check to see if it was big enough."
"We rubbed it carefully and gently to get rid of any cracks."
"We made some holes with a pencil around the side of our lamp to make it look pretty."

"Miss Roberts wrote our name on the bottom of our lamp."

Year 3/4 Chalk and Charcoal Portraits

We had to draw a portrait of our partner using charcola and chalk.

We had to stay very still fou our partner to draw us carefully.

We had to keep our mouths shut because it was to hard to draw the inside.

Year 5/6 Doodles

Miss Roberts showed us pictures of doodles then asked us to design our own.

We had to start off with a circle and build around it.

We had to fill in all the white gaps with black ink.

I found it easier using pen because i could see the doodles clearly.

I found it tricky using pen because if i made a mistake I couldn't rub it out - I just had to carry on!

We have been learning about Rangoli Patterns as part of our Festivals topic
Rangoli is celebrated during Divali

We decorated the Rangoli Patterns with colour pencils

We were very careful with the glitter!

Rangoli Patterns are used to welcome visitors into houses

We used bright colours

We used glitter to make the patterns stand out

We wear aprons when we use glue and glitter!
