On the day of The Big Draw our Reception class was challenged to create, the most beautiful butterfly.
Using "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" children's book as inspiration I am sure you will agree they made the most brilliant butterfly.
Small groups of pupils worked on the giant butterfly, drawing with squares of fabric, putting down layers of colour in an Impressionist way.
The Reception class were the second class to visit the hall.
They, like the Nursery children were asked to draw mini-beasts, fish, flowers and so on.
This they did, straight away and produced some really exciting drawings.
As we know, butterflies have symmetrical patterns and this we practised on the computers.
Each pupil drew their own butterfly to display in the hall, remembering those instructions about how the patterns need to be symmetrical.
We also got the chance to make some marks with leaves. In the Big Draw exhibition we wanted to make trees as part of the theme "Outside." Drawing around our hands and printmaking with the leaves made the trees.
On the afternoon of The Big Draw the Reception children were able to show their family and friends all the exciting drawing they had done.
