Foundation Stage: The Big Draw 2014

The Foundation Stage’s continent was Africa and each of the three classes painted and collaged a tiger, giraffe and elephant. Each pupil also made a mask, on which they drew the animal’s distinguishing features.

The Big Draw 2014

On Monday 13^th October Robin Hood Primary School took part in The Big Draw.  The 2014 Big Draw runs from 1 October to 2^nd November across the UK and in twenty other countries, with 280,000 people expected to join in over 1000+ events. This year the theme is “It’s our World” and is a celebration of our environment – of urban, rural and coastal landscapes.

In preparation for the big day the school hall was transformed into one big ocean.  The entire floor was covered with “sea” paper with four islands in the shape of Africa, Europe, North America and South America.  Each key stage was given a continent and throughout the day each class came into the hall and drew what they wanted to, be it on land or sea.

The following afternoon the children invited their family and friends into the hall to see their amazing drawing.  The hall was filled with people and many had a go at drawing their own pictures to add to the celebration of the world.
