Almost Summer.

It's been like a British summer's day. Sunny and breezy for most of the time but with cold spells too. There was a good illustration of the unpredictable weather during the afternoon playtime. I was out there in a sleeveless top and sunglasses while another teacher was wearing a jacket and long scarf.

For last Friday and today the Year 2 class teacher asked me to come up with some sort of art work linked to keeping healthy for a display at the Health Centre. And this is what the children have created. It still needs putting on card to finish it but I am really impressed with the quality of the children's pen drawings (they are only 6 & 7 years old). Apart from a talk at the start about looking carefully and drawing what they see the children worked independently with only an occasional reminder to look carefully. Although I couldn't fit every picture on each child has several drawings at least on the poster. (5 is the recommended number of portions of fruit and veg to eat each day though this varies from country to country, & potatoes don't count.) The wording and layout came from one child's poster design.
