Maple Class - Autumn Term 2001

Maple Class are looking at Changes this term and have been working hard thinking about changes to themselves as they grow older. This included doing some beautiful watercolour paintings of themselves, thinking about the detail on their faces and in their hair as they have got older.

They have also considered changes to materials such as paint and clay. Their clay faces were used to show how some materials cannot be changed back to their original state.

They made books all about themselves and what they could do each year. You can click on the boxes to get a picture and a sentence from each page. When you have finished, close the page to return here and see other pages.

The children worked in groups to collect information about the changes that happen to trees as they grow and as they change through the seasons. The children organised and presented their own work to make huge posters sharing what they had found out.

Their work also included a history focus as the children looked at toys from the past and compared them to their own modern ones. Geography was incorporated by looking at maps of towns and thinking about how they grew and developed over decades and  centuries.

The class also looked at the way materials are used in different ways. They each chose a season and worked on two pictues, one with coloured pencil and the other with watercolour. The children evaluated the two different processes.

What do you think about the different results?
