In 1RJ last half term we were looking at the designs of buildings and structures within environments, and the materials that were available to build them. We researched buildings all over the world. We found out that they are not all the same.
We looked at the environment in and around school, comparing the indoor and outdoor spaces and found some very obvious differences.
For the last week of term we started to look at a part of the painting called ‘Mr and Mrs Andrews’. One of the things we were asked to do was to think about who the people were. Some of us thought that the man was a pirate, a soldier or Guy Fawkes and that the lady was a queen, Cinderella or a poor girl. We then focused on the bench in the painting. We went out around the school looking at different types of seating and thought about what we would do on a seat or bench. We picked our favourite place to sit that was outdoors. Some of us got to make a life size bench and the rest of us made small scale benches. This half term we are looking forward to finding out more about the painting and our school trip to The Tate Modern.
