I Am Learning To create a wearable piece of art

Wearable Art Showcase 

For the past 2 terms, Room 10 and 11 have been learning about Space. We have been exploring the different planets and the galaxy. We decided for our wearable art piece that we would make galaxy skirts and capes with the planets on it. 

We learnt many different art techniques such as water colouring, flicking of paint, dabbing of paint and blending colours together. It was a long process but are all very proud of the final product!

I can get my lips ready for the first sound. I can say the first sound in the word.

"We are learning our to sound out words. We find it easy to say the 'z and x' sound. We find it tricky to use our letter sounds when sounding out words.  We sometimes get confused with the letters b, d and p because they look the same. We can keep practising this at home and at school."
