We have looked at the artwork of the famous artist Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy creates amazing sculptures outdoors using only natural materials.
We were inspired by his work to have a go at creating our own natural sculptures. First we needed to check we could identify materials which were natural or man-made. Next we used the natural materials to create simple sculptures. We had noticed Goldsworthy often has curves and circles in his sculptures so have included these shapes in our own work.
Starting our topic on useful materials we've spent time recognising and naming a range of materials. We've thought carefully about what different materials are like and developed our vocabulary to describe materials. Here are some ways we have sorted and grouped materials.
This week we learnt all about keeping safe at Streetwise. We enjoyed experiencing a range of scenarios such as crossing roads, how to get out of a smoky house and how to phone the emergency services. Have a look at the posters we created afterwards to help share the safety information we learnt.
