In the Giraffes, children have been practising drawing eyes.  Once they had practised the shape and outline, children experimented with adding colours and effects, using a variety of media, such as charcoal, watercolour, drawing pencils, felt pens and oil pastels.  The ideas will be used to design an eye sculpture, to be made later this term from clay.  

At the start of a science unit we normally start by finding out what children already know about a topic. Here’s Serena from the Nightingales showing what she knows about plants.
