The theme for SAW week (science, art and writing) has been space, and we’ve been concentrating all our learning around the moon.

We used these poems as inspiration (see below) to write some of our own about the moon using similes to help us describe it.

We saw this painting by Kandinsky and it reminded us of the planets and space.

We then recreated the painting using different types of paper.

We found out about the phases of the moon and made a flipbook to help animate it.

We used our knowledge of the phases of the moon as inspiration for these pictures.  We used marbling ink to create the background, and a sponge printing technique to add texture to the moons.

After finding out all about space and the moon, we made these fantastic fact pages.

Why not pop along on Friday night to see our exhibition?!

SAW week! 2
