Butterfly Handprint Artwork

This half term the children in Butterfly Class created some artwork linked to their topic “Who Am I?”. First, they created a colourful background by dropping different coloured ink onto the paper. After it had dried they printed their hands using black paint. Then finally they added their name in tiles to complete the piece. They all look very colourful and unique displayed in the classroom

 Pumpkin Investigation

Butterfly class have enjoyed investigating different pumpkins. They didn’t know they came in small sizes and in all different colours! As part of the investigation they looked closely at the colours on a chosen pumpkin – colours they could see were orange, green, black and creamy yellow. Then they measured how tall the pumpkin measured using cubes. They counted how many sections the pumpkin had around it. They decided if their pumpkin was rough or smooth and hard or soft. Finally, they predicted whether or not the pumpkin would float or sink. Then tested it in water - some children were surprised that their pumpkin floated when it was so heavy!  They also enjoyed helping to carve a pumpkin. They decided what shape eyes to have and whether it would be happy sad or scary and that he needed a tooth. Then they took turns to dig the insides out- it was very squidgy and messy!
