What an amazing week we have had. On Tuesday we got the chance to visit Mars at the Corn Exchange.
The child lay underneath Mars and listened to the story 'Curiosity' which was all about the Mars Rover Curiosity. Once back at school we also learnt lots of facts about Mars. Did you know Mars has two moons? Although it looks hot because it is red, Mars is actually a cold planet.
This week the children have been learning about the different layers of the Rainforest and the animals that live in them.
Today we started to learn about the Yawanawa tribe in the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil. We learnt how they used the seeds from a annatto plant to paint their faces. They paint patterns inspired by nature and animals. The children used felt tips to do this themselves on a template.
Then we followed a step by step guide by the artist John Dyer, who has been to the Amazon and worked with and painted with the Yawanawa tribe and drew a tribal figure.
