Year 1 Butterfly Scratch Film

First students listened to Butterflies are Patient, an interesting book all about the life of a butterflies and different kinds of butterflies. Next they drew a plan for their butterfly picture to use when scratching their film paper. It's rainbow coloured paper with a black film on top. When you scratch this film off the top, the coloured paper underneath is revealed. Students used a wooden stylus to scratch their film.

Year 1 Fantastic Frogs

The Fantastic Frog process: First we read a book together about the life-cycle of frogs. Students then followed a directed line drawing lesson using oil pastels. Lastly, they painted their picture with a food dye wash and named their frog. You can view some of these frogs this term in the library!
