Pictures and Thoughts for Mothers' Day

Class One were inspired, after looking at Chinese art, to make these beautiful Mothers' Day pictures. They combined two different painting techniques over a couple of days. First, they had to put a colour wash on their paper with the thin water colour paints and a big soft brush. They all chose a colour they thought their Mum would like.

Then they applied the thicker paint with cotton buds to complete their design.

The Chinese symbol next to their art work was chosen, whilst thinking about their Mum,  and copied carefully by the children.

We put the symbols inside the cards along with their greeting.

 

 

 

We put the Chinese symbol for Mother on the front of our cards.

Rangoli Patterns ~ Key Stage 2

During the Autumn term Class 3 and Class 4 have been looking at Rangoli patterns in their R.E. lessons. A Rangoli pattern is a colourful pattern which is drawn on the floor near the entrance to a house to welcome guests and to encourage the goddess of wealth to enter their homes during the festival of Diwali. Rangoli patterns can be made up of lots of different shapes. They are usually symmetrical and take ideas from nature such as flowers, birds and fruits and so on. Here are some of the patterns that we have designed.
