Drawing dandelions!

Yesterday, in art, Year 3 were practising drawing dandelions, because the book we are reading in English is all about Christopher Nibble who eats dandelions.

We drew them in pencil first and then went over them in black pen.                                   

We were using the special pens to try and create a contrast between black and white.

Here are some photos of our drawings!

The Woodpeckers get experimenting!

This week the Woodpeckers were experimenting to find the best material to use to create a reflective strip for a book bag. This is important to keep us safe when walking home from school when it is dark. We used torches to test lots of materials and eventually decided that tin foil was the best because it was lightly coloured, very shiny and smooth. We had a lot of fun and recorded our results and explained why we chose the tin foil.
