Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6) were first in the hall
in the morning. First we warmed up our bodies so that we were ready to draw by
drawing in the air with our elbows, foot, non-dominant hand and then our
dominant hand. We moved on to drawing their teacher in quick poses which lasted
twenty seconds with various drawing materials. We did a few of these. Then, we
moved on to adding detail to somebody else’s drawing. Finally, we came back to
our first drawing and changed it into something different.
Back in class the children made observational drawings of
autumn vegetables executed in oil pastels. They then read “The Enormous
Turnip.” This story is all about working
together to get a job done and this was certainly the theme of the day. They
drew around eachother lying on card, on the floor, in poses like that of the
people in the story. On to these silhouettes they drew words to describe people
and working together. In groups they
painted and collaged an enormous turnip.
