We looked at creating different tones today by having a practise of going from light to dark and dark to light without it looking blocky and there being a gradual increase or decrease of the colour. We used a coloured pencil to practise before we were ready to try on our Edgars. We are trying to make our character look as realistic as we can so by creating different tones and textures we can achieve this.
They are really starting to take shape- you can tell the ones who are focusing on trying to create different tones than the ones who are just wanting to get it finished. I have tried to explain that pieces of art should not be finished quickly and that taking time over them is what will allow us to achieve what we set out to achieve.
Green jotters have been sent home today with spelling words. We need to pay particular attention to ie and ei. Words are on spelling shed to practise also.
This week as learning tasks
Choose 5 of the words to grow and shrink and do this 3 times for each word.
Using your reading book that you are reading at home- can you look for words with the long e spelling for this week (ei, ie, ey, y e_e) and make a list of the words, ready to share on Thursday in class.
As the practise for the Christmas performance is underway- our class will be doing PE in the Church hall on a Tuesday and Miss Mackenzie has asked that we do not wear PE kit that day as there is no time to change and it disrupts the performance using the changing rooms so just come to school in school clothes and no kit is needed on a Tuesday. Thanks!
