I would love to know what you think of it.jdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12775085299874824485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887964538660966654.post-39222633119829926142008-05-09T17:08:00.002+02:002008-05-09T17:27:18.119+02:00Sketching at Chateau de PenthesYesterday we took our clipboards, some stiff white cartridge paper and a 3B drawing pencil to Chateau de Penthes.

Stig is a caveman who lives at the bottom of an old quarry close to Barney's grandmother's house. Barney finds Stig one day when he falls through the roof of Stig's den. They become friends, even though they cannot talk to each other. <br /><br />Since the quarry is no longer in use, people throw all their rubbish away down there; Stig is good at finding new ways in which to use old things.<br /><br />On the same day that they cut down an enormous tree (getting warm once in the process) and then use it to start a fire (getting warm for the second time) Stig picks up a piece of charred wood and uses it to draw an amazing hunting scene on the chalk wall of the den.<br /><br />Then we had a go at using charcoal and chalks to make our own hunting scene. We dusted the paper with charcoal powder and smudged it to give it a greyish background. Then we used charcoal and chalk to make our scene. <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/class2ipregny/CavePaintings/photo#5192820276949509762"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/class2ipregny/SBCah3YFZoI/AAAAAAAAFoI/dGRNzRkWgEc/s288/IMG_5278.JPG" /></a><br /><br />"I like yours because of the way you drew those busy active people," said Evie.jdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12775085299874824485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887964538660966654.post-87980429559381157502008-04-12T15:38:00.004+02:002008-04-16T14:52:32.300+02:00Mapping the schoolWe asked ourselves; how can we show what our school looks like? After taking a walk around the school, we had a go at trying to make a record of everything; from the classrooms to the kitchen, the music room to the French rooms and the library.<br /><br />Take a look at mine. "It was a bit hard drawing the map but I think I did a good job. It was kind of hard to do the downstairs toilets because they didn't easily fit on the paper. I could remember where everything was when I thought about it. I think that someone would be able to find their way using my map."<br /> <br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/class2ipregny/MappingTheSchool/photo#5188352834720372850"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/class2ipregny/SAC7agLmGHI/AAAAAAAAFXk/J-eSUo-gK0s/s400/IMG_5154.JPG" /></a><br /><br />How does it compare with the real thing?<br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/class2ipregny/HowWeCanShowWhatOurSchoolLooksLike/photo#5189823018301857410"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/class2ipregny/SAX0ic0HHoI/AAAAAAAAFYs/hVctwAKqnXU/s400/IMG_5240.JPG" /></a>jdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12775085299874824485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887964538660966654.post-57625135594500504902008-03-05T18:12:00.003+01:002008-03-05T18:16:35.411+01:00My Baseball Ball.....This is a ball and it's a baseball ball.<br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/class2ipregny/MetalWoodGlassPlastic/photo#5174303301577512498"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/class2ipregny/R87RcCqoljI/AAAAAAAAExo/MfHVHv6cwjk/s144/IMG_4384.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Inside it's made out of cork.

I know a sunflower - when it's day it turns to the sun. At school we show seeds. The plum seeds - we crack the seeds in half to see the kernel. I took seeds at school and made a poster. Now we have a book called "My Bean Diary". We'll plant the beans and then we write what happens to the bean. I'm not sure what's going to happen because on one table the linseeds grew straight up, but on my table they grew crocked.
