In our last art lesson we used photographs to help us sketch fruit and vegetables onto polystyrene printing tiles. We worked hard to create texture by pressing some areas down. We just used pencils to draw into the soft surface. This week we inked up our printing blocks using a roller and then printed the ink onto contrasting coloured card. We used a colour wheel to work out our combinations and we chose colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel.

Poems and art inspired by the sea
We have been reading lots of poems about the sea. Also, to help us get in the mood, we watched some video clips of calm, tranquil seas and contrasted these with wild, stormy seas. We also listened to music from the Four Sea Interludes by the composer Benjamin Britten.
The children made pictures and wrote poetic phrases.

Summer
Sea
So flat
like an iced
pond
a beautiful
light
from fallen
stars
Summer Sea
ripples
hissing onto our feet
slithering
to the shore
snaking
between our toes
Summer Sea
a reflecting
mirror
myself in
the water
transparent
as an icicle
Summer Sea
still in the
distance
unmoving
silent
an emerald
blue glittering gem.Tuesday, February 10, 2015

Pibrac Market Shopping Trip
At the market we talked to the stall holders (in our best French), looked at all the delicious things for sale (the steaming hot tagines seemed especially tempting) and we bought ingredients for our vegetable soup.
It was very cold (0°C) so when our feet and hands got too cold we retreated to La Sainte Germaine restaurant where we were warmly welcomed with a tasty breakfast. Yum.
