Topic: Our topic this term has been Materials Everywhere! Remember our investigation into natural and manmade materials? I would like you to have a go at making a natural sculpture out of natural materials (in your garden, in the park or on the beach if you go out). Have a look at the work by the well-known natural artist Andy Goldsworthy for inspiration – there is a good Powerpoint presentation on the website.

Fizzy: Practise your cutting skills! If you can, go to the Fizzy Folder on the home learning website and download the Spring Cut and Complete picture. Otherwise, adults, please draw zig zag, or wavy lines on a piece of paper so that your child can cut along. Or carefully cut out pictures from an old magazine and create a collage.
